Question

Divide rupees 6600 between A,B and C so that A has twice as much as B, and B has half as much as C.​

Answer 1

STEP 1: Define x:

Let b has x amount

b = x

A has twice as much as b:

a = 2x

B has half as much as c:

c = 2x

.............................................................................................

STEP 2: Form equation and solve for x:

2x + x + 2x = 6600

5x = 6600

x = 1320

.............................................................................................

STEP 3: Find their amount:

A = 2x = 2(1320) = Rs 2640

B = x = Rs 1320

C =2x = 2(1320) = Rs 2640

.............................................................................................

Answer: A = Rs 2640, B = Rs 1320 and C = Rs 2640
