Question

dividers 5152 among three persons so that the first gets 40%of second gets 60% of the third

Answer 1

Let the persons be A,B,C                   
A = 40/100 B     
    
 B= 60/100 C
C = 100/60 B

THEREFORE A+ B + C = 5152
40/100 B + B + 100/60 B = 5152
120+300+500 /300  B   = 5152
920/300 B = 5152
B = 1680

NOW,
A = 672              B= 1680                      C= 2800
