Question

an amount of 1800 is to be divided among A , B and C in the ratio 5 : 8 : 7 how much will each get ? what will it be in percentage? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

For some x, A gets 5x, B gets 8x, and C gets 7x.

In total:

5x + 8x + 7x = 20x = 1800

=> x = 1800 / 20 = 90

So...

A gets 5x = 450

B gets 8x = 720

C gets 7x = 630

As percentages:

A gets (5x) / (20x) = 1/4 = 1/4 × 100% = 25%

B gets (8x) / (20x) = 2/5 = 2/5 × 100% = 40%

C gets (7x) / (20x) = 7/20 = 7/20 × 100% = 35%

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ratio be in form of 5x:8x:7x

so +5x+7x+8x = 1800

20x=1800

x=90

A =   5x =5(90)=450                B= 8x=8(90)=720     C=7x=7(90)=630

percentage

A = 450*100/1800                    B=720*100/1800        C= 630*100/1800

=25%                                           =40%                               =35%
