Answer 2

Answer:

The total amount they divided = 480

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The ratio in which Gopalan and Usman divided the amount = 5:3

The amount Gopalan got after dividing = 300

To find,

The money they divided

Solution:

Let 'x' be the total money divided

Since the money is divided in the ratio 5:3,

Fraction of the amount Gopalan is getting =$\frac{5}{8}$

Gopalan's share =  $\frac{5}{8}x$

Since the amount Gopalan got after dividing = 300, we have

 $\frac{5}{8}x$ = 300

x = $\frac{300X8}{5}$ = 480

∴ The total amount they divided = 480
