Question

Ankita and Alok went to the market with 8 watermelons. They sold each watermelon at the rate of Rs. 40. They divided the money received from selling all the watermelons between themselves. equally. How much money did each take? Let's write down in mathematical terms and then simplify.​

Answer 1

one watermelon costs 8rupees

then 8 watermelons costs 8*40=320

let money of ankita and alok be x (because both get equal money)

x+x=320

2x=320

x=320/2

x=160

therefore money shared between them is 160
