as much as C. The amount A gets is​

Answer 1

c=25.25

b=75.75

a=151.50

Answer 2

Answer:

The amount that A gets is Rs. 151.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount to be divided = 252.50

Let C get Rs. 'x'

Therefore, according to the question,

B = 3 * C

  = 3 * x

  = 3x

and A = 2 * B

          =  2 * 3x

          = 6x

Since the total amount is 252.50,

A's share + B's share + C's share = 252.50

=> 6x + 3x + x = 252.50

=> 10x = 252.50

=> x = 25.25

As A's share was 6x,

A will get = 6 * 25.25

               = 151.50

Therefore, the amount that A gets is Rs. 151.50
