Answer:

Rs 116 3/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b get x then the rest will get :

a = x - 0.25x = 0.75x

c = x - 0.20x = 0.80x

The total that they all get is given by :

a + b + c = x + 0.75x + 0.80x = 1.55x

This is equal to :

2.55x = 395

x = 395/2.55

x = 154 46/51

The share of a is given by 0.75x

0.75 = 75/100 = 3/4

= 3/4 × 154 46/51 = 116 3/17

a gets rs 116 3/17
