Answer:

total be  = 125

let A:B = 3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost be 3x and 2x respectively.

so, 3x+2x = 125

    5x = 125

    x = 125/5

    x = 25

then, putting value of x in costs = A= 3x

                                                     A= 3 x 25

                                                     A = 75

         B = 2x

         B = 2 x 25

        B = 50.

The divisions are, 75 and 50

Given : The main number is 125

To find : Dividing the main number in the ratio of 3:2

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to divide the given number in the said ratio)

Let,

The divisions = 3x and 2x

(Obtained from the ratio 3:2)

So, according to the data mentioned in the question,

3x+2x = 125

5x = 125

x = 125/5

x = 25

So, first division = 3x = 3 × 25 = 75

Second division = 2x = 2 × 25 = 50

(These will be considered as the final results.)

Hence, the divisions are 75 and 50
