Question

$270 is divided between Michael, James and Karina so that James receives twice as much as Michael and Karina receives twice as much as James. How much does James receive?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

lets the amount be x.

michael receive = x

james receive = 2x

karina receive = 4x

according to question

x + 2x +4x = 270

7x = 270

x = 270/7

michael receive = x = 270/7 $

james receive = 2x = 2 x 270/7

karina receive = 4x = 4 x 270/7

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\green{Answer}$

Let the amount be x.

Michael = x

James = 2x

Karina = 4x

[ According to question ]

x + 2x + 4x = 270

7x = 270

$\large{\boxed{\tt{x=270/7}}}$

Then,

Michael = x → 270/7

James = 2x → 2 × 270/7

Karina = 4x → 4 × 270/7
