Winning And Losing-math

Winning and Losing 1. Alice, Brian, and Christine, were spending their evening playing poker with some retired people at the Senior Center. At the beginning of the game, the ration of how much money each person had was: 7:6:5. At the end of the game, the ration was: 6:5:4. One of the players had won $1200 How much money did each of the players have at the beginning of the game? 2. I solved the problem by using ratios, and fractions. This made it easy to compare the different amounts of money that each person had.

3.

4. My final answer is Alice: $43,200 Brian: $36,000 Christine: $28,800 I think my answer is right because I used ratios and fractions. I couldn’t make a mistake easily because I could easily see the difference in each persons money from the beginning to the end
