Question

£810 is divided between Paul, Brian & Colin so that Paul gets twice as much as Brian, and Brian gets three times as much as Colin. How much does Brian get?

Answer 1

Answer:-

Brian:-243 euros

Step-by-step explanation:

brian as b,

Colin as c,

Paul as p,

b is thrice of c,so take it as,

c=x ,. b=3x ,. p= 2×3x that is 6x

now add all these

x+3x+6x=810

10x=810

x=810÷10

x=81.

so, Colin=81 ,.

Brian=81×3=243,

Paul=243×2=486
