Answer: Cynthia will receive $5,400, Moses will receive $8,100, John will receive $13,500
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we will see how many "portions" the money is broken up into.
2:3:5 can become 2 + 3 + 5 = 10
Next, we will see how much money each "portion" is worth using division.
$27,000 / 10 = 2,700
Finally, we will multiply to see how much each person will receive.
2:3:5
2 * $2,700 = $5,400 [Cynthia]
3 * $2,700 = $8,100 [Moses]
5 * $2,700 = $13,500 [John]
