Question

if 1,200 pesos is divided among the three people in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5, find the share of it​

Answer 1

Answer:

First part = X/(X + Y + Z) × K,

Second part = Y/(X + Y + Z) × K,

Third part = Z/(X + Y + Z) × K.

For example, suppose, we have to divide $ 1200 among X, Y, Z in the ratio 2 : 3 : 7. This means that if X gets 2 portions, then Y will get 3 portions and Z will get 7 portions. Thus, total portions = 2 + 3 + 7 = 12. So, we have to divide $ 1200 into 12 portions and then distribute the portions among X, Y, Z according to their share.

Thus, X will get 2/12 of $ 1200, i.e., 2/12 × 1200 = $ 200

Y will get 3/12 of $ 1200, i.e., 3/12 × 1200 = $ 300

Z will get 7/12 of $ 1200, i.e., 7/12 × 1200 = $ 700

Answer 2

Heyy

Here's your answer:

First person will get 240 pesos

Second person will get 360 pesos

Third person will get 600 pesos

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio constant be x

Then:

2x + 3x + 5x = 1200

10x = 1200

x = 1200/10

x = 120

Therefore share of:

First person = 2x = 2 × 120 = 240 pesos

Second person = 3x = 3 × 120 = 360 pesos

Third person = 5x = 5 × 120 = 600 pesos

Hence, First person will get 240 pesos, Second person will get 360 pesos, and Third person will get 600 pesos.
