Question

A mother & her two daughters got a room constructed for 62000. The Elder daughter contributes 3/8 of her mother's contribution while the younger daughter contributes 1/2 of her mother's share. How much do the three contribute individually.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let mother's share be x

then,elder daughter's share be 3/8x

and younger daughter's share be 1/2 x

then count the no.s

x+3/8x+1/2x=62000

(8x+3x+4x)/8=62000

15x/8=62000

15x=496000

x=33067(mother's share)

Then,elder daughter's share=33067*3/8=12400

younger daughter's share=33067*1/2=16533

therefore,

mother's share=Rs. 33067

elder daughter's share=Rs. 12400

younger daughter's share=Rs. 16533
