Respuesta :

Answer:

The cost of Ronny is $876, Dough is $1095 and Ronald is $1752.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, make all ratios into units:

Let Ronny = 4 units, Doug = 5 units,

Ronald = 8 units, Total = $3723

4 units + 5 units + 8 units = 17 units

17 units = $3723

1 unit = $3723 ÷ 17

1 unit = $219

Given that 1 unit is equals to $219. Let find the amounts:

Ronny = 4 × 219 = $876

Doug = 5 × 219 = $1095

Ronald = 8 × 219 = $1752
