Please answer the following question by reasoning step-by-step.
Parker and Richie split a sum of money in the ratio 2:3. If Parker got $50 (which is the smaller share), how much did they share?

125
If Parker got $50 with a ratio of 2, then the unit share is $50 / 2 = $25.

Using the sharing ratio, Richie gets 3 unit shares which total to 3 * $25 = $75.

The money they shared was $50 + $75 = $125.

.

The final answer: 125
