Answer 1

Answer:

Let us consider the total bill of the restaurant =1

Bill paid by A=1/2

Bill paid by B=1/5

Remaining bill can be calculated as below:

Remaining bill =1−{(1/2)+(1/5)}

=1−{(5+2)/10}

=1−(7/10)

We get,

=3/10

Shares of the three persons =(3/10)÷3

=(3/10)×(1/3)

=1/10

Therefore, each paid (1/10) of the bill.
