Question

A sum of money is shared between two students in the ratio 3:5 respectively. If the smaller share is $480, what was the sum shared?

Answer 1

Answer:

1280$

Step-by-step explanation:

since the ratio is 3:5 let us assume one student got 3x rupees while the other got 5x.

3x would obviously be smaller than 5x.

so 3x=480

which gives x=480/3

x= 160

since x=160 that means the other student got

5x = 5×160 $

= 800$

so the sum would be 3x+5x

= 800+480

= 1280$

hope this helped!!
