Question

an amount is distributed amongst pinki and dheeraj in 3:7 if dheeraj got 240 rs extra then how much will be the total amount​

Answer 1

Answer:

• The total amount is Rs 600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• An amount is distributed among Pinki and Dheeraj in the ratio of 3 : 7.
• Dheeraj got 240 rupees extra.

To Find:

• How much will be the total amount.

Let us assume:

• Pinki's share = x
• Dheeraj's share = x + 240

Finding the value of x:

According to the question.

⟶ x/(x + 240) = 3/7

Cross multiplication.

⟶ 7x = 3(x + 240)

⟶ 7x = 3x + 720

⟶ 7x - 3x = 720

⟶ 4x = 720

⟶ x = 720/4

⟶ x = 180

∴ The value of x = 180

Finding the total amount:

Total amount = Pinki's share + Dheeraj's share

Total amount = x + x + 240

Total amount = 180 + 180 + 240

Total amount = 600

∴ The total amount = Rs 600

Answer 2

Given :-

an amount is distributed amongst pinki and dheeraj in 3:7 if dheeraj got 240 rs

Solution :-

Now,

y/y + 240 = 3/7

7y = 3(y + 240)

7y = 3y + 720

7y - 3y = 720

4y = 720

720/4 = y

180 = y

Total amount = 2x + 240 = 2(180) + 240 = 600
