The amount given to them is GHS300.00
Step-by-step explanation:
A man gave an amount of money to his three sons Yao, Esi and Ampa in the ratio of  their years
We need to find the amount given to them
Let us use the ratio method to solve the problem
∵ Yao is 15 years old
∵ Esi is 10 years old
∵ Ampa is 5 years old
∴ The ratio between them is
→  Yao   :   Esi   :   Ampa
→  15    :   10   :   5
Simplify the terms of the ratio by divide each term by 5
∴ The ratio between their ages in the simplest form is
→  Yao   :   Esi   :   Ampa
→  3     :   2    :   1
∵ Esi had GHS100.00
→  Yao   :   Esi   :   Ampa   :  Total
→  3     :   2    :   1       :  6 ( 3 + 2 + 1 = 6)
→       :  100   :          :   x
Use the cross multiplication to find x
∵ 2(x) = 100(6)
∴ 2x = 600
- Divide both sides by 2
∴ x = 300
∵ x represents the total money given to them
∴ The amount given to them is GHS300.00
The amount given to them is GHS300.00
