Question

£620 is divided between Malachy, Paul & Brian so that Malachy gets twice as much as Paul, and Paul gets three times as much as Brian. How much does Paul get?

Answer 1

Answer:Money received by Paul is 186 euros

Step-by-step explanation:

Let money received by Brian be x

so, money received by Paul = 3x

and money received by Malachy = 2(3x) = 6x

If total money is 620

Therefore, 6x + 3x + x = 620

= 10x =620

= x = 62

Money Paul received = 3x = 62*3 = 186  

Answer 2

Answer:

186£

$brian = x \\ paul = 3x \\ malachy = 6x \\ total \: money \: = 620 \\ then = x + 3x + 6x = 10x \\ \\ \frac{620}{10} \times 3 = 186$

thus paul get 186£ . i hope it will help you. mark me as brainlist. thanks
