Answer:

£10

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the amount Brian gets by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

£50 ÷ 5 = £10 ← value of 1 part of the ratio

Colin gets 1 part of the ratio, that is £10

Add the the ratio 5:1

It will be 5+1=6

Remember that 6 is the total ratio equivalent to £50 and we only wanted to obtain Collins gain so you say

Collins is represented with the ratio 1 while Brian 5

If 6=£50 what about 1
1×£50/6 which you will give you £8.3
