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
