Question

£50 is divided between Krutika, Natasha & Richard so that Krutika gets twice as much as Natasha, and Natasha gets three times as much as Richard. How much does Krutika get?

Answer 1

Answer:

Krutika- £30, Natasha- £15, Richard- £5

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum is- £50

Krutika gets- k, Natasha gets- n, Richard gets- r

Given: k=2n, n=3r

So we have:

k+r+n=50

2n+3r+r=50

2*3r+3r+r=50

10r=50

r=£5

n=3r=3*5=£15

k=2n=2*15=£30

The answer is:

Krutika gets- £30, Natasha gets- £15, Richard gets- £5
