The amount of money Emma receives in this scenario is £35.

What is Ratio?

This is defined as a comparison of numbers that indicates their sizes in relation to each other.

Helen and Emma = 2 : 5

2 = 5

x  = x+21

We then cross multiply

5x = 2 ( x+21)

5x = 2x + 42

5x - 2x = 42

3x = 42

x = 42/3 = 14

Emma received x+21

= 14+21 = £35
