Answer 1

Answer:

sum of money Jessie has = 198

and sum of money Thulani has = 495

Step-by-step explanation:

let sum of money Jessie has = x

and sum of money Thulani has = y

given, x = 2y/5 ------(1)

when Thulani gave rs 198 to Jessie, then sum of money Jessie has = x+198

and Thulani has = y-198

given, y-198 = 6(x+198)/8

=> y-198 = 6(2y/5+198)/8 [putting value of x from (1)]

=> y-198 = 3(2y/5+198)/4

=> 4(y-198) = 6y/5 + 3×198

=> 4y - 4×198 = 6y/5 + 3×198

=> 4y - 6y/5 = 4×198 + 3×198

=> 14y/5 = 7×198

=> y = 7×198×5/14

=> y = 495 (Thulani's money)

=> x = 2y/5

=> x = 2×495/5

=> x = 198 (Jessie's money)
