Question

A certain sum of money is divided into three parts in the ratio 5 : 7 :8. If the first part is $ 225, find the total amount and the other two parts.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount =Rsx

The amount has been divide into two parts in the ratio 9:13

Sum of the terms of the ratio =9+13=22

First part =229 of total amount

Second part =2213 of total amount

According to given statement

      2213 of x=Rs 260 

⇒2213×x=Rs 260

⇒x=Rs13260×22⇒x=Rs20×22

∴x=Rs 440

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

* ₹900

* ₹315 & ₹360

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio can be depicted as 5x:7x:8x, where x is a constant value.

(Ratios are the simplest forms of terms.)

We have been given with the value of the first ratio:

5x = 225

x = 225/5  = 45.

Using this constant value ('x') we can find the values of the other ratios

7x = 7*45 = 315

8x = 8*45 = 360

-> Total amount = ₹(225 + 315 + 360)  = ₹900

-> The other 2 parts are ₹315 & ₹360
