Answer 1

Question :-- A sum of money was divided between Rajeev and Ashish so that Rajeev gets 7/19 of the whole account. If he gets 5600, how much was the total sum. ?

✪ Answer :-

Let the Total sum was Rs.x .

it is given that, Rajeev got 7/19 of Total.

➳ That means Rajeev gets = 7/19 of x = (7x)/19 .

Now, it is given that, Rajeev gets Rs.5600 .

So,

➪ (7x)/19 = 5600

➪ 7x = 5600 * 19

Dividing both sides by 7,

➪ x = 800 * 19

➪ x = Rs. 15200

Hence, Total sum was Rs.15200.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\bold\purple{Total\:sum}$ = $\bold{Rs.15,200}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

• Rajeev gets 7/19 of whole money.

• Rajeev gets = Rs.5600

• Total sum = ?

Let the total sum be Rs. P

$\therefore$ Rajeev gets = 7/19 of P = 7P/19

${\underline{\underline{\bold{According\:to\:question:-}}}}$

$\hookrightarrow\sf \dfrac{7P}{19} = 5600 \\\\\hookrightarrow\sf 7P = 5600 \times 19 \\\\\hookrightarrow\sf 7P = 106,400 \\\\\hookrightarrow\sf P =\cancel{\dfrac{106,400}{7}} \\\\\hookrightarrow\huge{\boxed{\sf\green{P = Rs.15,200 }}}$

$\therefore\bold{\underline{Total\:sum = Rs.15,200 }}$
