Question

Divide * 1173 among A, B and C in the
ratio 6 : 8:3.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$by \: algebra \\ let \: the \: share \: of \: a = 6x \\ b = 8x \: c = 3x \\ sum \: of \: shares \: = 1173 \\ 6x + 8x + 3x = 1173 \\ 17x = 1173 \\ x = \frac{1173}{17} = 69 \\ then \\ \: share \: of \: a = 6x = 6 \times 69 = 414 \\ share \: of \: b = 8x = 8 \times 69 = 552 \\ share \: of \: c \: = 3x = 3 \times 69 = 207$

$by \: ratio \\ sum \: of \: ratio \: = 6 + 8 + 3 \\ = 17 \\ original \: share \: = \\ \frac{share \: in \: ratio}{sum \:of \: ration} \times total \: amount$
