Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Given - Total amount

Find - Rahul, Ankit and Madhvi's share

Solution - Let the amount of Rahul, Ankit and Madhvi be 3x, 5x and 7x.

As per the given information -

3x + 5x + 7x = 2400

Performing addition

15x = 2400

$x = \frac{2400}{15}$

Performing division

$x = 160$

So, amount of Rahul = 3x

Amount of Rahul = 3*160

Amount of Rahul = Rupees 480

Amount of Ankit = 5x

Amount of Ankit = 5*160

Amount of Ankit = Rupees 800

Amount of Madhvi = 7x

Amount of Madhvi = 7*160

Amount of Madhvi = Rupees 1120

Therefore, Rupees 2400 will be divided among Rahul, Ankit and Madhvi as Rupees 480, 800 and 1120 respectively.
