Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate here is your answer..........❤️

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money contributed by the mother be x.

Then, money contributed by elder sister will be 3x/8 and money contributed by younger sister will be x/2.

In total,

$\frac{3x}{8} + \frac{x}{2} + x = 135000$

$\frac{3x + 4x + 8x}{8} = 135000$

$\frac{15x}{8} = 135000$

$15x = 135000 \times 8$

$x = \frac{135000 \times 8}{15}$

$x = 9000 \times 8$

$x = 72000$

Hence the money contributed by the mother is Rs.72000.
