Question

₹140 was distributed between ASHA and Nisha in the ratio 3:4. How many rupees did each one get

Answer 1

Answer:

ASHA :60 and NISHA:80

3x+4x=140

7x=140

x=140÷7

×=20

Therefore Asha:3×=60

and Nisha:4×=80

Answer 2

Given ,

Net amount to be distributed between Asha and Nisha = Rs 140

Ratio of distribution of money = 3 : 4

We have to find how much many did both of them get .

Solution :

Let the ratio be in terms of x .Then , ratio = 3x : 4x

and ,

3x + 4x = 140

=> 7x = 140

=> x = 20

Money that Asha got = 3 * 20 = Rs 60

Money that Nisha got = 4 * 20 = Rs 80
