Question

Ayesha, Sarah and Zara decide to share the cost of a pizza. Sarah pays 3/10 of the cost and Zara pays 2/5 of the cost. If Ayesha pays Rs 270, what is the total price of the pizza? ( 5 marks) *

Answer 1

570 is the cost of the pizza

Answer 2

Answer:

let total cost of pizza = x

Sarah pays = 3x/10

zara pays = 2x/5

ayesha pays = 270

now, Total cost of pizza = 3x/10 + 2x/5 + 270

x = 3x + 4x + 2700/10

x = 7x+2700/10

from cross multiple

10x = 7x+2700

10x-7x = 2700

3x = 2700

x= 2700/3

x = 900

hence, cost of pizza = 900 Rupees ans.
