Question

A man left behind Rs 20,000 in cash. Of this 20% was to be given to the charity and the remaining divided equally between his two sons. Determine the amount given to the charity and each of his sons. Answer in detail with statements.

Answer 1

As, 20000 * 20%

Charity = 4000

So, remaining is 20000 - 4000= 16000

Now divide equally,

That is 1: 1 ratio

So, 8000: 8000

Charity is given 4000,8000 is received by each son.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs 2000 should be given to each son

Step-by-step explanation:

Cash left behind=20,000

Cash given to charity=20%

Cash to be divided among two sons=20,000×$\frac{20}{100}$

                                                       =200X20=4000

The cash should be divided among 2 sons=$\frac{4000}{2}$=Rs2000

Therefore, Rs 2000 should be given to each son
