Question

If 720 divided between X and Y in the ratio 8:1, then what X's share is ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let us take the shares of each as z

then, x's share= 8 z

y's share= 1 z

sum of both = 720

8 z + 1 z = 720

9 z = 720

z = 720 \ 9

z = 80

x's share = 8 z = 8*80 = 640

y's share = 1 z = 1*80 = 80

hope this helps u

please give me thank you
