Question

₹ 720 is divided between x and y in the ratio 4:5 how many rupees will each get??

Answer 1

HELLO

YOUR ANSWER IS

share of x: share of y=4:5⇒4a:5a where a is the common divisor

total share= 4a+5a=9a but

total share =720rs

9a=720

a=80

share of x =4a-4*80=320rs

share of y=5a*80=400rs

Shortcut method

 share of x=share of ratio of x*total amount/total of ratio

                  =4*720/(4+5)

                   =4*720/9=4*80=320rs

share of y=5*720/9=5*80=400rs

Thank you✌️✌️

Answer 2

Answer:

x will get ₹320

y will get ₹400

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the total = 9

So,

Share of x = 4/9

Share of y = 5/9

Total = ₹720

So share of x = 4/9 × 720 = 320

So share of y = 5/9 × 720 = 400
