When quantities are shared in a ratio, you allocate the total according to the number of parts each person gets. Here the shop is open 24 hours and the three technicians’ hours are in the ratio 3:4:5. The total number of parts is 3 + 4 + 5 = 12, so each part equals 24 ÷ 12 = 2 hours. Danny’s share is 5 parts, which is 5 × 2 = 10 hours. At P50 per hour, Danny earns 10 × 50 = P500. The other numbers don’t fit because they don’t correspond to 10 hours at the given rate, whereas the distribution dictates 10 hours for Danny, yielding P500.
