Divide * 1500 between Aania and Biju in the ratio 5 : 7. How much will each of them get?​

Answer 1

GivEn question:

• Divide 1500 between Aania and Biju in the ratio 5 : 7. How much will each of them get?

To finD:

• Share of Aania and Biju

Solution:

Here, given that total quantity is 1500 and we have to divide it between Aania and Biju in the ratio of 5:7

Let supposing the constant variable as x

Therefore,

• Share of Aania = 5x
• Share of Biju = 7x

Now, According to give condition :

5x + 7x = 1500

=> 12x = 1500

=> x = 1500/12

=> x = 125

Therefore, constant variable is 125

Hence,

• Share of Aania = 5x = 5×125 = 625
• Share of Biju = 7x = 7×125 = 875

Answer 2

Solution :

• Total amount = Rs. 1500
• Ratio of the shares of Ajay and Varun = 5 : 7

Let share of Ajay be 5x and that of Varun be 7x

Hence, According to the question :

Sum of the shares of Ajay & Varun = Rs. 1500

→ 5x + 7x = 1500

→ 12x = 1500

→ x = 1500 / 12

→ x = 750 / 6

→ x = 125

Therefore

Share of Ajay = 5x = 5 * 125 = Rs. 625

Share of Varun = 7x = 7 * 125 = Rs. 875
