Answers
Answer:
A's share = ₹1000
B's share = ₹1400
C's share = ₹1600
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Total money = ₹4,000
Divide money in the ratio of A,B,C = 5:7:8
To find :
The share between A , B and C
Taken :
Let the A , B , C share be x
So , to find the share between A,B,C use this formula -:
After finding the value of x multiply with the ratio to find the A , B and C 's share .
Solution :
A's share -:
B's share -:
C's share -:
Answer:
solution here;
total amount = Rs 4000
given ratio of A, B, C = 5:7:8
Let the common multiple be x
therefore the ratio of A, B, C will be 5x, 7x and 8x respectively.
then, 5x + 7x +8x = 4000
or, 20 x = 4000
or, x = 4000÷20
therefore, x = 200
putting x = 200 in the given ratio
A = 5x = 5×200= Rs 1000
B = 7x = 7×200= Rs 1400
C = 8x = 8× 200 = Rs 1600
so, there shares is Rs ( 1000, 1400 and 1600 ) respectively
