Akin and ayo shared the sum of 200 in the ratio of 5: 1 find the amount ago received

Total number of sharings = 5+1 = 6

600 / 6 = 33.33

So ayo  had one out of the 6  and received 33.33   answer

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
