Question

A and B together have S1.210. If (4/15)th of As amount is equal to (2/5Ith of B's amount, then how much amount does B have?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.48

Step-by-step explanation:

A+B = $1.210------------eq1

4/15(A)= 2/5(B)----------eq2

A= 1.210-B

put value of A in eq 2 we get

4/15*(1.20-B) = 2/5(B)

(4.80/15)-(4B/15) = 2B/5

(4.80-4B)/15 = 2B/5

4.80-4B = 30B/5

4.80-4B = 6B

4.80 = 6B+4B

4.80 = 10B

B =4.80/10

B= $0.48
