Question

A,b,c,d,e are partners went to restaurant .a paid the bill 1/2 and b paid 1/5 bill and rest paid equally . find each of share

Answer 1

Let Total bill-amount is x and the amount paid by C or D or E is y. A/Q, Amount paid by A = x/2. 
 Amount paid by A = x/5. 
 Now,x/2+ x/5 + y+ y + y = x 
 or, 3y = x - x/2 - x/5 
 or, 3y = (10x - 5x - 2x)10 
 or, 3y = 3x/10  
or, y = x/10 

  Therefore amount paid by rest three C, D, E = 1/10. 
  Share of Each are given below :-  
A => 1/2    
B => 1/5   
C => 1/10   
D => 1/10   
E => 1/10
