mong A, B and C in such a way that A receives 25% more than C and C receives
25% less than B. What is A'share in the amount?​

Answer 1

Answer:

780

Step-by-step explanation:

let's assume

A received X

B received Y

C received Z

X+Y+Z= 2236

also,

X= Z+ 0.25Z= 1.25Z

and

Z= Y- 0.25Y= 0.75Y

—> X= 1.25*(0.75Y) = 0.9375Y

THEREFORE FOR EQUATION

X+Y+Z= 2236

0.9375Y+ Y+ 0.75Y =2236

2.6875Y = 2236

Y=832

X=780

Z=624
