Answer:

  a. Z: 30,000; T: 50,000

  b. Z: 37.5%; T: 62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The "ratio units" add up to 3+5 = 8, so we can find the investment amounts by multiplying the ratio by 10,000

  Z : T = 3 : 5 = 30,000 : 50,000

  • Zoe invested 30,000
  • Toria invested 50,000

__

b. Zoe's investment amount is 3/8 of the total, or ...

  3/8 × 100% = 37.5%

Toria's percentage is the rest of it:

  100% -37.5% = 62.5%

  Zoe invested 37.5% of the total; Toria invested 62.5% of the total.
