ALLOCATION
Allocation of number according to ratio.

To allocate or divide a number into parts according to ratio,

consider the following steps:

1. Add the terms of the ratio

2. Write the terms as the numerator with their sum as the
denominator.
3. Multiply the fraction to the whole to get the part.
RATIO Suppose that P5, 400, 000 is to be
ALLOCATIONthree department: sales,
allocated to the

EXAMPLE marketing, and advertising in the ratio 1:2:3. How much money
will be allocated for each department?
GIVEN: Whole = P5,400,000 Ratio = 1:2:3
1. 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
2. and
3. x 5,400,000 = P900,000 sales
x 5,400,000 = P1,800,000 marketing
x 5,400,00 = P2,700,000 advertising

respectively. After Raffy retired to continue using the ratio is to
respectively. The financial statement of the business shows a profit of
P3,300,000. Determine the profit share of (a) Guia and (b) Emz.
SOLUTION:
6 + 5 = 11
x 3,300,000 = P1,800,000 share of Guia
x 3,300,00 = P1,500,000 share of Emz
