Question

Divide $96000 in the ratio 4:5:7

Answer 1

Answer:

4 + 5 + 7 = 16

(4/16)96000 = 24000

(5/16) (96000) = 30000

(7/16) (96000) = 42000

$96000 divided in 4:5:7 ratio is

$24,000:$30,000:$42,000

Answer 2

Answer :

There are two methods to solve this question, and both are the same.

Method 1 :

4x + 5x + 7x = 96000

*If you add 4x + 5x + 7x you will get 16x.

16x = 96000

*Now shift 16 to the RHS, you will get the equation as,

x = 96000÷16

x = 6000.

Ratio :- 4:5:7

*Multiply x that is 6000 with 4, 5 and 7.

And then write the ratio as,

= 24000:30000:42000

*If you simplify this ratio then you will get 4:5:7.

Method 2 :

*Add the numbers 4, 5 and 7

4 + 5 + 7 = 16

96000÷16

=6000.

Ratio :- 4:5:7

*Multiply 6000 with 4, 5 and 7, like the last method.

You get the same answer,

24000:30000:42000.

Hope it helped.
