Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve this for you if you agree to mark me brainliest reply in comments.

as we know b has 7x and rs. 2989 so x will be 2989 divided by 7 that is 427 rupees.

now A's share=4x=427*4=1708 rupees

B's share= 2989 rupees

now, C's share= 9x=427*9=3843 rupees. now on adding all numbers we get 1708+2989+3843= 8540 rupees

Answer 2

Answer:

Total Amount = Rs . 8,540

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio be x

A : B : C = 4 : 7 : 9

Ratios be 4x , 7x , 9x

Given that ;

7x = 2989

x = 2989 / 7

Hence ;

x = 427

4x = 4 ( 427 )

4x = 1708

9x = 9 ( 427 )

9x = 3843

Total amount = A + B + C

1708 + 2989 + 3843 = 8540
