Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Let the common number be x

George's share = 2x

Nancy's share = 3x

According to the question,

2x + 3x = 420

5x = 420

x = 84

Hence George's Share is,

2x = 2 × 84 = #168

Nancy's share is,

3x = 3 × 84 = #252

》#252 > #168

》Nancy's share > George's share.

Answers :

George's share = #168

Nancy's share = #252

Nancy's share is more than George's share.

x=84

George =2x=2*84=168

Nancy =3x=3*84=252
