Question

If an amount is divided into A, B and C in the ratio of 2: 5: 9, if A's portion is 250 then what is the total amount?​

Answer 1

Answer:

2000

Step-by-step explanation:

take x as the coefficients of the ratios

so 2x =250

x=125

total amount is 16x

x=125

then 16x= 16×125

=2000

Answer 2

Answer:

A : B : C=2 : 5 : 9

if A's portion= Rs 250

then B's portion =Rs250×5/2=Rs125×5=Rs625

C s portion is Rs 250×9/2 =Rs 125×9=Rs 1125

total amount =Rs(250+625+1125)

=Rs 2000
