Question

£20 is divided between Colin, Dan & David so that Colin gets twice as much as Dan, and Dan gets three times as much as David. How much does Colin get?

Answer 1

Answer:

Collin gets 12 euro.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of euro David gets be x.

therefore, Dan will get 3×x = 3x

and Collin will get 2×3×x = 6x

Equating this we get:

6x+3x+x= 20 euro

or, 10x = 20 euro

or, X = 20/10 euro = 2 euro

Therefore, David will get, x = 2 euro

Dan will get, 3x = 3×x = 3×2 = 6 euro

Collin will get, 6x = 6×x = 6×2 = 12 euro
