Question

3. An amount of 900 is shared by A and B in the ratio 4 : 5. Find the shares of A and B.

Answer 1

Answer:

Amount= 900

A and B in the ratio 4:5

4+5= 9

A = 4/9*900= 400

B = 5/9*100 = 500

Answer 2

Answer:

4x = 400

5x = 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 4:5 be 4x and 5x

4x + 5x  = 900

 9x        = 900

  x         = 100

Since we found x, we can easily find 4x and 5x.

I am assuming 4x as A's share and 5x as B's share

4x = 100 x 4 = 400 rupees

5x = 100 x 5 = 500 rupees

If you add the share of A & B, you get 900 rupees

Therefore, A's share is 400 rupees ans B's share is 500 rupees

Hope this helps...
