Answer:

II. Amount of money = R48,000

II. Amount of money = R72,000

Explanation:

Let the amount earned by Tayla be Ta.

Let the amount earned by Tom be T.

Given the following data;

Total amount of money = R120,000

Ratio of Ta to T = 2:3 = 2+3 = 5

To find the value of Ta;

[tex] Ta = \frac {2}{5} * 120000 [/tex]

[tex] Ta = \frac {240000}{5} [/tex]

Tanya, Ta = R48,000

For Tom;

[tex] Ta = \frac {3}{5} * 120000 [/tex]

[tex] Ta = \frac {360000}{5} [/tex]

Tom, T = R72,000

Check: 48000 + 72000 = R120,000
