In a ratio of 7:1, Jim would have seven times more money than Krutika. We can write this as shown;
J=7k
We also know that Jim has 66 (sorry don’t have the pounds sign) more $ than Krutika. We can write this as shown.
J=k+66
If we set both of these true equations equal to each other, we get;
k+66=7k
We can subtract k from both sides;
k-k+66=7k-k
(Simplify)
66=6k
(Simplify again)
K=11(pounds)
You could also plug 11 in for k to find Jim’s money, but you don’t need to sooo.
Final Answer: Krutika has 11 pounds.
