Question

516 are divided among a and b, so that a receives 25% more than b and b receives 25% less than c, then cs share i

Answer 1

Let the amount received by b be x.

The amount received by a will be :

x + 0.25x = 1.25x

The amount received by c is :

x + 0.25x = 1.25x

Now adding :

x + 1.25x + 1.25x = 3.5x

3.5x = 516

x = 147.43

c receives :

1.25 × 147.43 = 184.2875
