Question

a sum of Rs. 4558 os divided among arun, santhosh and hari such that arun receives 20% more than hari, and hari receives 25% less than santhosh. find arun's share.

Answer 1

Let amount received by Santosh be 100x, so we have

Amt of Santosh = 100x

Amt of Hari = (0.75) 100x = 75x

Amt of Arun = (1.2) 75x = 90x

Total amt = 4558

So we have,

100x + 75x + 90x = 4558

265x = 4558

x = 17.2

So Arun's share = 90x = 90 (17.2) = 1548

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the percentage of amount santosh have be X

the percentage of amount hari =X-25

and percentage of amount arun =X-25+20=X-5

now

sum of percentages of all the three=100

X + (X-25) + (X-20) = 100

3X = 130

X =43.33

therefore, percentage of amout arun have = 43.33-5=38.33

Now aruns share =38.33×4558÷100=1747.1
