1. Problem Description

Isaac and Seth share £3600£3600. Seth gets twice as much money as Isaac. We need to find out how much Seth receives.

2. Solution Steps

Let xx be the amount of money Isaac receives.
Since Seth gets twice as much money as Isaac, Seth receives 2x2x.
The total amount they share is £3600£3600. Therefore,
x+2x=3600x + 2x = 3600
3x=36003x = 3600
x=36003x = \frac{3600}{3}
x=1200x = 1200
So Isaac receives £1200£1200.
Since Seth receives twice as much as Isaac, Seth receives 2x=2×1200=24002x = 2 \times 1200 = 2400.

3. Final Answer

Seth receives £2400£2400.
