Answer - - > 75 : 150 : 25

3/10 x 250 = 75

6/10 x 250 = 150

1/10 x 250 = 25

Tyshawn Mckee · Answer 2

Let x be the money, then in order for the ratio to take place we will say,

3:6:1 = > 3x:6x:x

If you add all the money together you get 250 So ...

3x+6x+x=250, but 3x+6x+x=10x

Therefore 10x=250

x=25

So ...

3x = 3*25 = 75

6x = 6*25 = 150

x = 25 = 25

And just to check the answer ... 75+150+25=250
