Answer 2

Given:

Geetha had 51 marbles

Out of this she gave 27 to amrutha and half of the remaining to radhika.

To Find:

find what percentage of marble does each of them have

Solution:

Geetha had marbles = 51

She gave no. of marbles to Amrutha = 27

Remaining marbles = 51-27=24

She gave half of the remaining to Radhika.

Radhika has marbles =$\frac{1}{2}(24)=12$

Remaining marbles = 24-12 = 12

So, Geetha has percentage of marbles =$\frac{12}{51} \times 100=23.529\%$

Radhika has percentage of marbles = $\frac{12}{51} \times 100=23.529\%$

Amrutha has percentage of marbles =$\frac{27}{51} \times 100=52.94\%$

Hence Geetha , Radhika and Amrutha have 23.529% ,23.529% and 52.94% marbles respectively.
