Question

Divender divided his collection of 720 stamps among his friends Ravi, puja and Swati in the ratio 5:4:7. How many stamps did each of them get?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of stamps be 5x,4x,7x.

5x+4x+7x=720

16x=720

x=720/16

x=45

5x=5×45=225 stamps

4x=4×45=180 stamps

7x=7×45=315 stamps
