Let the amount brothers get=x
Then sister=2x
Then x+ 2x=500
3x=500
x=500÷3
X=166.6

Answer 2

Given:

sister get twice as much as brothers gets.

To Find:

Distribute an amount 500

Solution:

Number of brothers = 2

Number of sisters = 1

Let the share of each brother be x

We are given that sister get twice as much as brothers gets.

So, Sister's share = 2x

Amount = 500

So, 2x+x+x=500

4x=500

$x=\frac{500}{4}=125$

Sister's share = 2x=2(125)=250

So, Each brother share is Rs.125 and sister's share is Rs.250
