miss moneypenny inherits $420 from a secret agent. she decides to save some money and spend the rest. this reduces the amount she has in the ratio 9:14.how much money does she save and how much does she spend?

OpenStudy (dumbsearch2):

There's no way to know this without knowing either how much she spends, or how much she saves. Is there missing info?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i'm sorry i just updated the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the ratio would be.... save:spend?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the total would be 420 so your equation is 9x + 14x = 420 solve for x when you have that.. get 9x => that would be your saved money 14x => spent money
