Step-by-Step Breakdown:
- Sum all ratio parts: 2 + 3 = 5 total parts.
- Calculate the value of one single part: 500 ÷ 5 = 100 per part.
- Multiply each ratio part by single part value:
- • Share 1: 2 × 100 = 200.00 (40.00%).
- • Share 2: 3 × 100 = 300.00 (60.00%).
- Verify total sum: 200.00 + 300.00 = 500.00.
How to Divide Any Total by a Ratio
Dividing a sum according to a ratio requires 3 simple steps:
- Add the ratio terms: Add all parts of the ratio together to determine the total number of proportional units.
- Find the unit value: Divide the total amount by the sum of parts. This gives the value of exactly 1 share.
- Multiply by each term: Multiply each individual ratio term by the unit value to find each party's exact allocated share.
