Money Ratio Bc335C


1. The problem states that money is shared between Ali, Kat, and Lena in the ratio 5 : 3 : 4, and Lena's share is 76. 2. Let the common ratio factor be $k$. Then Ali's share is $5k$, Kat's share is $3k$, and Lena's share is $4k$. 3. Since Lena's share is 76, we have: $$4k = 76$$ 4. Solve for $k$: $$k = \frac{76}{4} = 19$$ 5. The total amount of money is the sum of all shares: $$5k + 3k + 4k = 12k$$ 6. Substitute $k = 19$: $$12 \times 19 = 228$$ \textbf{Final answer:} The total amount of money is 228.
