Question

3 friends went out to a restaurant. Ajay had twice as many burgers as vijay, and ramesh had thrice as many burgers as vijay. The total bill came to rs. 2400. How much is vijay's share (assuming all burgers cost the same).

Answer 1

$\sf\underline{Step-by-step \: explanation}$

Let number of burgers Vijay had be x

Then,

Ajay = 2x

Ramesh = 3x

Assuming the cost same and solving it accordingly,

Vijay + Ajay + Ramesh = Rs. 2400

x + 2x + 3x = Rs. 2400

6x = Rs. 2400

x = Rs. 400

Hence, the cost of per burger is Rs. 400

Vijay's share = Rs. 400

[x = Rs. 400]

Ajay's share = Rs. 800

[2x = 2 × 400 = Rs. 800]

Ramesh's share = Rs. 1200

[3x = 3 × 400 = Rs. 1200]

To find,

Vijay's share,

Vijay's share = Rs. 400
