Amy and Ben share some money in the ratio 5:3. Amy gets £20 more than Ben. How much do they share in total?
Step 1 Find the "difference in parts"
Amy has 5 parts, Ben has 3 parts
Difference = 5 - 3 = 2 parts
Step 2 Work out one part
2 parts = £20
1 part = £20 ÷ 2 = £10
Step 3 Find total
Total parts = 5 + 3 = 8
Total money = 8 × £10 = £80
