Question

3500 is to be shared among three people such that the first person gets 50% of the second ,who in turns gets 50% of the third person. How much will each of them get.?

Answer 1

Answer:

let First get=x

second get =50 % of x

third get=50%of %50%of x

x+50/100× + 50/100 × 50/100 × × =3500

× + ×/2 + 1/2 ×1/2 × × = 3500

2× + × + 4×= 3500 × 2

7× =7000

× = 1000

so first get 1000

second get 500

third get 2000
