children get.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ron gets 2727.2 rupees.

Sam gets 681.8rupees.

Gary gets 1090.9 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ron gets x rupees from Mr. Jones.

Then Sam gets x/4 rupees and Gary gets 2x/5 rupees .

We know from the question,

x+2x/5+x/4=4500

=20x+5x+8x/20=4500

=33x=90000

=x=90000/33=2727.2 rupees.(Ron)

Sam=x/4=2727.2/4=681.8

Gary=2x/5=1090.9
