Question

Gagan and Suveer shared the cost of a book in the ratio 3: 5. If the cost of the book is ₹ 400, what was Gagan's share ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹ 150

Step-by-step explanation:

Gagan's share = 3x

Suveer's share = 5x

Total cost = 8x = ₹ 400

x = 400 / 8

x = 50

∴ Gagan's share = 3x = 3 (50) = ₹ 150

Answer 2

Answer:

let gagans share be x.

8x=400

x=50

gagans share =50×3=150

Suveer share=50×5=250
