Work out divide amount in a ratio instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Sharing in a ratio means dividing the amount into equal parts — a + b of them — and giving a of those parts to the first recipient and b to the second.
Sharing in a ratio
first = amount × a/(a+b), second = amount × b/(a+b)
Nine parts of 50, so 200 and 250.
Round each share to the nearest penny and give any remaining penny to one party, so the shares still add to the original amount.
