Answer:
Altogether, Stevie and Michael made £480
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Stevie gets £120 more than Michael, Stevie gets the bigger ratio which is 5 and Michael gets the ratio 3
a:b=ax+bx
Stevie share =ax
Michael share=by
5:3=5x+3x
Stevie profit=Michael profit
*Stevie gets £120 more
5x+120=3x
5x-3x=120
2x=120
x=120/2
=60
x=60
Stevie=ax
=5*60
=£300
Michael=bx
=3*60
=£180
Altogether,
They made a profit of £180+£300
=£480
