amount in the purse? Also calculate what amount was taken by Geeta and
Seeta?

Answer 1

Answer:

total money is = 600

first took = 200

second= 200

third= 200

Answer 2

Answer:

hi , maybe this is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total money be x

Geeta took 1/3 of the money = x/3

Sita took 1/2 of the left money = x - x/3 upon 2

                                                  = x/3

Rita took the money left over = 200

according to the question

  x = x/3 + x/3 + 200

200 = x - x/3 + x/3

200*3 = 3x - 2x

600 = x

therefore , the total money taken from the purse is rupees 600

Geeta's share = x/3 = 600/3 = 200

Sita's share = x/3 = 600/3 = 200

hope this helps you
