Answer:
Initially, they have £28 altogether
Step-by-step explanation:
Obi: Rudy=5:2
this means that Obi had 5x and Rudy has 2x in their wallets.
Obi spent £20 and 5x-20 left. Obi now had £8 less than Rudy
thus,
2x-(5x-20) =8
2x-5x+20=8
-3x=-12
x=4
obi =5x
=5*4
=20
Rudy =2x
=2*4
=8
This means that initially Obi had £20 and Rudy had £8
Total if Rudy and obi
=£8+£20
=£28
