Question

Aslam, Farid, and Majid are going to buy a shop that costs 54 million rupees. If Aslam pays 5 million rupees more than Farid and Farid pays twice as much as Majid, then how much does Farid pay?

Answer 1

Given

A+ F + M = 54

A = F + 5

M = 2F

so

F + 5 + F + 2F = 54

4F = 49

F= 12.25 million

To check the answer ie A+ F + M = 54...(1)

M = 2 * 12.25 = 24.5

A = 12.25 + 5 = 17.25

17.25 + 12.25 + 24.5 = 54
