Question

divide 2000 between a,b,c so that a gets 2/3 of what b gets and b gets 1/5 of what c gets. Find the share of each​

Answer 1

Answer:

A gets 200

B gets 300

C gets 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C get “x”

Then B gets (1/5*x)

Then A gets {2/3(1/5*x)} = (2/15*x)

According to the question,

2x/15 + 1x/5 + x = 2000

=> (2x + 3x + 15x) / 15 = 2000

=> 20x / 15 = 2000

=> x = (2000 * 15) / 20 = 100 * 15 = 1500

Therefore

A gets (2 * 1500)/15 = 200

B gets (1500/5) = 300

C gets 1500
