Question

divide 3500 among A B and C in the ratio 3 : 2 : 2

Answer 1

3:2:2

Let A be 3x, B be 2x and C be 2x.

3x + 2x + 2x = 3500

7x = 3500

x = 3500/7

x = 500

Therefore, A = 3*500 = 1500, B = 2*500 = 1000 and C = 2*500 = 1000.

Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

given ratio = 3: 2: 1
a's share = 3/6 x 3500 = 1750
b's share = 2/6 x 3500 = 1166.66
c's share = 1/6 x 3500
