Question

Divide 102 toffees among Sachin and Deepa in the ratio of 8:9

Answer 1

let the toddies distributed =8x and 9x
total toffies=102
8x+9x=102
17x=102
x=6
therefore toddies distributed = 48 and 54

Answer 2

Sachin's share of toffees is 48 and Deepa's share of toffees is 54.

• Total number of toffees is 102.

• Ratio in which Sachin and Deepa divide among them is 8:9.

• Let the common multiple be x.

• Now,

Sachin's share of toffees = 8x

Deepa's  share of toffees = 9x

• Now, total number of toffees = 8x + 9x = 17x

102 = 17x

x = 6

• Therefore, Sachin's share = 8x = 8×6 = 48 and Deepa's share = 9x = 9×6 = 54.
