To find

➻ Total amount..

Solution

As certain sum of money is divided in the ratio of 9 : 13.

Let the money of two parts be 9x and 13x respectively.

According to Question :

➔ 13x = ₹260

➔ x = 260/13

➔ x = ₹20

Finding money of the first part :

➻ First part = 9x

➻ First part = (9 × 20)

➻ First part = ₹180

Now finding total amount :

➻ Total amount = First part + Second part

➻ Total amount = 180 + 260

➻ Total amount = ₹440

∴ Total amount of the share = ₹440
