Answer 1

Answer: A share 2400

B share 5400

C share 1000

Step-by-step explanation:let a share be x

b share be y

Then c share be 8800-x-y

According to question

x = 3/8(y+8800-x-y)

x= 2400

8800-y =5/17(x+8800-x-y)

y=5400

Answer 2

Answer:

A's share=2400

c's share= 4400

Step-by-step explanation:

A+(B+C)=8800

3a+8a=8800

a=8800/11  =800

A's share=800x3 = 2400

A+C

B's share= 5/17

5/17xy= 5y/17

5a+17a=rs 8800

8800/22=rs 400

C's share 8800-(2400+2000)=rs 4400
