Chocolates: Amount of money paid by James for the chocolate was $52. Cost of the box of chocolates was $ 108 (very expensive) and Peter paid $ 24, James paid $52 and Ron paid $32. Ratio of Peter: James+Ron would be 24: 84 = 2: 7. Ratio of Peter: Ron = 24: 32 ie 3 : 4.10 Feb 10, 09:48
Kylie and Julie: Both Kylie and Julie had $108 at first. After 9 days of spending,Kylie had 108-9(6) = 108-54= $ 54 left. As for Julie, she had 108-9(10) = $18 left.10 Feb 10, 09:39
Tim and Ron: Tim has $ 1500 and Ron has $600. 1st case: for 20 days, Amount of money that Tim has = 1500-(20x60) = $300 and Ron has = 600-(20x30) = 0. 2nd Case: For 10 days, Tim has 1500-(10x30)=$1200 and Ron has 600-(10x60) = 0.10 Feb 10, 09:23
From KSP: 3) Peter, James and Ron shared to buy a box of chocolates. Peter paid 2/7 the total amount paid by James and Ron. Peter paid 3/4 the amount Ron paid. If Ron paid $8 more than Peter, how much money did James pay for the chocolates ?10 Feb 10, 09:23

From KSP: 1) Both Tim and Ron have some money. If Tim spends $60 each day and Ron spends $30 each day, Tim would have $300 left by the time Ron spends all his money. If Tim spends $30 each day and Ron spends $60 each day, Tim would have $1200 left by the time Ron spends all his money. How much money does each boy have ?10 Feb 10, 05:49
