Question

For Diwali, a total of 8400 laddus

were supplied to three companies – A, B

and C from a sweet shop in the ratio

2:5:7. Find the number of laddus supplied

by each company. There are​

Answer 1

Let there be a number x.

The Laddoos are supplied to the three shops in the ratio 2:5:7.

Thus, they have totally supplied

$2x + 5x + 7x \\ = (2 + 5 + 7)x \\ = 14x = 8400 \: laddoos \\ x = \frac{8400}{14} \\ x = 600$

Thus, to shop A, they've given 1200 laddoos.

To shop B, they've given 3000 laddoos.

To shop C, they've given 4200 laddoos

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
