Question

4200Rs. Is to be shared among three persons such that the first person gets 50% of the second who in turn gets 50%of the third . How much will each one of them get

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the share of third person be x

Share of second person= 50% of x = 50/100 of x = x/2

Share of first person = 50/100 of x/2= 1/2*x/2= x/4

According to question,

x+ x/2 + x/4 = 4200

Upon taking the LCMs

4x/4+2x/4+x/4= 4200

7x/4=4200

x=4200*4/7

x=2400

Share of first person= 2400/4= 600 Rs

Share of second person= 2400/2= 1200 Rs

Share of third person= 2400 Rs

I'ld hope that this helps. :)
