Step 1: Basic

Let R1 and R2 are two resistances connected in parallel then source current is I then 

current in R1 and R2 will be   fraction numerator R 2 over denominator R 1 plus R 2 end fraction cross times I space space space space space space a n d space fraction numerator R 1 over denominator R 1 plus R 2 end fraction cross times I
respectively.
