Lizzy: Parker and Richie split a sum of money in the ratio 2:3. If Parker got $50 (which is the smaller share), how much did they share?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
If Parker got $50 with a ratio of 2, then the unit share is $50 / 2 = $25. Using the sharing ratio, Richie gets 3 unit shares which total to 3 * $25 = $75. The money they shared was $50 + $75 = $125. Final answer: 125.
