Question

A sum of money was divided between Rajeev and Ashish so that Rajeev gets 7/19 of the whole amount. If he gets Rs. 5600, how much was the total sum?​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹15,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount Rajeev Gets= ₹5600 = 7/19 of Total Amount split between the two.

Let the amount Rajeev gets be, 7x (x is 1/19 of the total amount, and Rajeev gets 7/19, so Rajeev's share would be 7x)

Now,

7x = 5600

x = 5600/7

x = ₹800

Total Amount = 19x

x = 800,

Therefore,

19x = 19 x 800

= ₹15,200
