Question

a sum of money needs to be distributed among a, b, c and d in the ratio 2:4:7:3. if c gets $1000 more than d, what is the total amount to be distributed?

Answer 1

A -> 2 units, B -> 4 units, C -> 7 units, D -> 3 units

7u - 3u = 4u

4u = $1000

1u = $1000 / 4 = $250

Total number of units = 2u + 4u + 7u + 3u = 16u

16u = $250 * 16 = $4000
