Answer:

Will's share =   48

Olly's share =  32

Step-by-step explanation:

Will's share : Olly's share = 3:2

Will's share = 3x

Olly's share = 2x

3x + 2x =  £ 80                 {Combine like terms}

     5x   = 80                    {Divide both sides by 5}

      x = 80/5

       x = 16

Will's share = 3x = 3*16 = 48

Olly's share = 2x = 2*16 = 32
