Given : A certain amount was divided between sita and gita in the ratio of 9:8. Sita share was Rs. 4500
To find : The amount.
Solution :
We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (ou goal is to calculate the amount)
Let, Sita and Gita gets = Rs. 9x and Rs. 8x
(obtained from the ratio 9:8)
According to the data mentioned in the question,
9x = 4500
x = 4500/9
x = 500
Gita gets = Rs. 8x = Rs. (8 × 500) = Rs. 4000
