Question

A mother and her 2 daughters got a room constructed for Rs 62000 the elder daughter contributes 3/8 of her mothers contribution while the younger daughter contributes 1/2 of her mothers share. how much did the the 3 contribute individually?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let mother's contribution be x.

x + 3/8 * x+1/2 * x  = 62000

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

x = 62000* 8/15 =  12400*8/3 =   Rs. 99200/3.= Rs. 33066.67

Elder daughter's share = 3/8 * 99200/3 = Rs. 12400

Younger daughter's share = 1/2 * 99200/3 = 49600/3 = Rs.16533.33

Mother's contribution = Rs. 33066.67.
