Question

: A sum of J$300 is divided in the ratio 2 : 3. What is the amount of the LARGER share? *

Answer 1

Answer:

ratio of division=2:3

thus, let the variable of equality be x.

thus, amount of money in both the shares will be 2x and 3x

but, 2x+3x=300

=5x=300

x=300/5=60

thus, x=60.

thus, the shares will be 2x and 3x

=2*60 and 3*60

thus, the shares will be Rs. 120 and Rs. 180.

thus, the amount of larger share is Rs. 180
