D The prize money for a competition is shared between the winner and the runner-up
in the ratio 3: 1.
The winner received £250 more than the
runner-up.
What was the total prize money?

Total amount = £500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount for the runner up be = x

Let the amount for winner be =  x + 250

Let the total amount be x + x + 250 = 2x + 250

Ratio of  the amount is 3 : 1

Sum of the ratio = 3 + 1  = 4

Amount for the winner is

Therefore, Amount won by runner - up = x = £125

                       Amount won by winner = x + 250 = 125  + 250 = £375

Therefore, total amount = 375 + 125 = £500
