The ratio of jacks money to ethan's money is 7: 5 if jack has $26 more than ethan, how much money does ethan have? how much money do they have together?

The money do they have together is 156$

Explanation:

Let Ethan’s money be x

and we are given Jack has $26 more than Ethan so ,

Jack's money can be said to be 26 + x

Also we are given that ratio of jack’s money to that of Ethan’s is given to be 7:5

So,  

=> 5(x+26) = 7(x)

=>

=> 2x = 130

=> x = 65

So, Ethan’s money = x = 65$

and Jack’s money = x + 26

                               =65 + 26

                              = 91$

And hence they together have 65 + 91 = 156$

156$  Which is the money do they have together .

3/6   and 9/18
