For every $10 that a billionaire spends, a millionaire spends the equivalent of 10 cents. For every $5 that a millionaire spends, a yuppie spends the equivalent of $1. The ratio of money spent by a yuppie, millionaire, and billionaire can be expressed as
Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 1 : 5 : 100  B) 1 : 5 : 500  C) 20 : 4 : 1  D) 100 : 4 : 1  E) 400 : 4 : 1
B.........M........Y   10.....0,10......Y   B.........5........1   What I did first was to turn 0.10 to 1 (by multiplying by 10), so that it is easy to find the LCM. This led me to this:   1 : 5 : 500.........M........Y   100.....1.........Y   1 : 5 : 500........50......10   Then I multiplied every row by 50 (the LCM of 1 and 50), which led me to this:   1 : 5 : 500.........M........Y   5000...50.......10   Then I got rid of the extra zero, and in the correct order this is Y:M:1 : 5 : 500=1:5:500   ANS 1 : 5 : 500
