Answer:
★ Paul got = £78 ★
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Total amount is £130
- Paul got twice as much as Brian
- Brian got three times as much as Colin
To Find:
- Amount that Paul got
Solution: Let Colin got x
A/q
- Brian got = 3 times of x = 3x
- Paul got = 2 times of 3x = 6x
★ If we add Colin, Brian and Paul's amount together we will get total amount i.e £130 ★
x + 3x + 6x = 130
10x = 130
x = 13
Hence, Colin got x = £13, Brian got 3x = £39 and Paul got 6x = 78
