Question

A mother and her two daughters got a room constructed for
Rs.62,000. The elder daughter contributes 3/8 of their mother’s
contribution while the younger contributes ½ of her mother’s share
.how much do the three contributes individually?

Answer 1

Answer:

x  = mother's share= 33067

3/8 x = elder daughter's share = 33067 × 3/8 = 12400

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

Step-by-step explanation:

let,

the mother's share = x

according to the question,

elder daughter's contribution= 3/8 x

younger daughter's contribution = 1/2 x

now,

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

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

15x = 496000

x = 496000/15

x  = mother's share= 33067

3/8 x = elder daughter's share = 33067 × 3/8 = 12400

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