Question

80 is divided between X and Y in the ratio of 3:1, what is the individual share of
X and Y​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the share with X be 3a and Y be a. {Since ratio is 3:1}

Total = 3a + a = 80...

=> 4a = 80 => a = 20.

Now, share with X is 3a i.e. 3 x 20 = 60.

Share with Y is simply a i.e. 20.

Thus, 80 has been divided as 20 and 60.

Answer 2

heya mate here is your answer .....

put z in the ratio

then ....

3z + z = 80

4z = 80

z = 80/4

z = 20

put the value of z in ratio

then

3 × 20 = 60

1 × 20 = 20

hope it helps
