Question

Divide 500 in three parts such that the third part is equal to the second but double of the first​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the second and third part be x and first part be 2x.

2x+x+x=500

4x=500

x=500/4

x=125

First part=

2x

2×125

250

second and third part=

x

125

Answer 2

Answer:

100 + 200 + 200 = 500

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no. be x.

then the first no. is x/2.

so,

x/2 + x + x = 500

(x + 2x + 2x) ÷ 2 = 500

5x ÷ 2 = 500

5x = 500 × 2

x = 1000 ÷ 5

x = 200

then,

the second and the third no. is 200.

and the first no. is x/2 = 200/2 = 100.
