Question

Divide 3 rupees and 39 paisa among
two men so that one gets 59 paisa
less than the other. What is the share
of each?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assuming the person getting the lesser amount is getting Rs. x

x + (x+5) = 100

2x = 95

x = 47.5

so, person-1 gets Rs. 47.5 and

person-2 gets Rs. 52.5 (which is Rs. 5 more than what person-1 got)

Answer 2

Answer:

140p, 199p

Step-by-step explanation:

Rs.3 33p=300p+39p=339p

let x be paisa got by 1st person.

now paisa got by 2nd person is 339-x.

According to question

x+59=339-x

=>x+x=339-59

=>2x=280

=>x=140

So one person got 140p and other got 339p-140p=199p
