Question

£150 is divided between Nick, June & Sushil so that Nick gets twice as much as June, and June gets three times as much as Sushil. How much does June get?

Answer 1

Answer:

June's share = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let share of Nick = N, June = J and Sushil = S

N + J + S = 150          . . . 1

N = 2J          . . . 2

and J = 3S          . . . 3

Replacing value of N and S from equation 2 and 3 in equation 1

2J + J + $\frac{J}{3}$ = 150

⇒ $\frac{10J}{3}$ = 150

⇒ J = 45
