Question

A sum of money is shared among three people in the ratio of 15:18:7. Find the total sum and the largest share, given that the smallest share is 84

Answer 1

Answer:

largest share is 216 and total sum is 480

Answer 2

$\huge\boxed{\underline{\bf\green{A} \: \red{N} \: \orange{S} \: \purple{W} \: \blue{E} \: \pink{R}}}$

let the money divided be 15x,18x,7x

smallest share is 84

→ 7x = 84

→ x=84/7

→ x=12

Now, 15(12)+18(12)+7(12)

→ 180+216+84

→ 480
