Question

2. Rohit and Madhur shared a sum of money in the ratio 3 : 2. After Rohit gave for his share to
Madhur, Madhur had 140. What was the sum of money they together had?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 3 to 2 so the base is 5

If total amount is x then

R= 3x/5 and M= 2x/5

Assuming R gave half of his share to M and M had 140, then the equation is

(3x/5)/2+2x/5=140

3x/10 + 4x/10 =140

7x/10=140

x=1400/7

x=200

Therefore the total they have x=200
