The revenue generated by Company X is divided between Doug and Moira in a 6 to 5 ratio
respectively.
Column A: Moira’s share when the revenue generated by Company X is $15,700
Column B: $7,900
Column A: Moira’s share when the revenue generated by Company X is $15,700
Column B: $7,900
- The quantity in Column A is greater.
- The quantity in Column B is greater.
- The two quantities are equal.
- The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Calculate Moira’s share
The total revenue is $15,700 and it is divided in a 6 to 5 ratio. Therefore, the total number of parts is:
\[ 6 + 5 = 11 \]
Moira’s share will be:
\[ \frac{5}{11} \times 15,700 = 7,136.36 \]
Step 2: Compare the quantities
Clearly, Moira’s share \(($ 7,136.36)\) is greater than \($ 7,900.\)
