Answer 1

Answer:

Total amount = 32/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Total amount be ₹ x.

Amount received by First person = 3 *x/4 = 3x/4

Amount received by Second person = 4/5 + 4

ATP,

first person's amount = Second person's amount

Hence,

3x/4 = 4/5 + 4

or, 3x/4 = 24/5

or, 3x = 24* 4/5

or, x = (24*4/5)/3

or, x = 32/5
