A sum of money was to be shared among three A,B and C in the ratio 3:2: 5. If C received $420 more than B, determine the sum of money shared.

Answer 1

Answer:

1400 $

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of money according to the ratio = 3x+2x+5x = 10x

According to Question,

Amount of money C has = 420 $ + Amount of money B has

5x=2x+420

3x=420

x=140

Total Amount of money =10x =1400$
