Question

Divide 525 into three parts of such that 5%of the first is equal to 10% of second and 20%of the third​

Answer 1

Answer:

1st will be 105/4 2nd

Answer 2

300,150,75

Step-by-step explanation:

let the three parts be x, y and z respectively

Now, 5% of x is equal to 10% of y which means that X is equal to 2y or y is equal to 0.5 x

Again, 5% of x is equal to 20% of z means that x is equal to 4z or z is equal to 0.25x

so according to the question as the three parts are equal to 525 so x + 0.5 x + 0.25 x is equal to 525 or 1.75x = 525 or x=300 and by putting the value of x in equation 1 we get y is equals to 150 and by putting the value in equation 2 we get z is equals to 75 therefore the three numbers are 300, 150 and 75
