Question

A certain amount was divided between a and b in the ratio 4:3 . If b's share was rs 4800, the total amount was

Answer 1

Ratio A to B=4:3

Let A get=₹ 4x

Let B get=₹ 3x

B share=₹4800

Given=₹4x

A/Q

3x=4800

x=4800/3

x=1600

We got x=1600

A=4x=4×1600=₹6400

B=3x=3×1600=₹4800

Total Money=6400+4800

=11200

$\boxed{\mathbf{\huge{Amount=Rs.11200}}}$

Answer 2

The total amount was Rs. 11200

Given : A certain amount was divided between a and b in the ratio 4:3 . b's share was rs 4800

To find : The total amount.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the total amount)

Let, the amount of a and b = Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x

(obtained from the ratio 4:3)

According to the data mentioned in the question,

3x = 4800

x = 4800/3

x = 1600

a's share will be :

= Rs. 4x

= Rs. (4 × 1600)

= Rs. 6400

Total amount :

= a's share + b's share

= Rs. (6400 + 4800)

= Rs. 11200

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the total amount is, Rs. 11200
