Question

A, band c divide an amount amongst themselves-in the ratio of 4 : 7 : 9 respectively. If b's share in the amount is ~ 2989 what is the total amount.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let a,b and c be 4x,7x and 9x

B's share is 2989

therefore 7x=2989

x=427

now 4x=4*427=1708

and9x=9*427=3843

therefore total amount=amount of a b c

2989+1708+3843=8540

Answer 2

The total amount is Rs. 8540.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of A : B : C = 4: 7 : 9

So, Part of A be 4x

Part of B be 7x

Part of C be 9x

Since, B's share in the amount = Rs. 2989

so, According to question, it becomes,

$7x=2989\\\\x=\dfrac{2989}{7}\\\\x=427$

So, The total amount is given by

$4x+7x+9x\\\\=20x\\\\=20\times 427\\\\=8540$

Hence, the total amount is Rs. 8540.
