Question

If Rs. 450 is to be divided amongst Ram, Shyam and Suresh such that Ram gets 2 parts, Shyam gets 3 parts and Suresh gets 4 parts. How much money will each get? What will it be in percentage?

Answer 1

Given :

• Total amount of money to be distributed = Rs. 450
• Ram's share = 2 parts
• Shyam's share = 3 parts
• Suresh's share = 4 parts

To find :

• Amount of money each will get.
• Amount of money in percentage

Solution :

Let - 1 part = x

Therefore

Ram's share = 2 parts = 2x

Shyam's share = 3 parts = 3x

Suresh's share = 4 parts = 4x

Total amount = Ram's share + Shyam's share + Suresh's share

➝ ₹450 = 2x + 3x + 4x

➝ 9x = Rs 450

➝ x = Rs 450/9

➝ x = Rs 50

________________________________

Ram's share = 2 parts = 2x

➝ 2(Rs 50) = Rs 100

Shyam's share = 3 parts = 3x

➝ 3(Rs 50) = Rs 150

Suresh's share = 4 parts = 4x

➝ 4(Rs 50) = Rs 200

________________________________

1) Percentage share of Ram = ( Ram's share/Total amount) × 100

➝ Percentage share of Ram = ( 100/450) × 100

➝ Percentage share of Ram = 10000/450

➝ Percentage share of Ram = 22.22%

2) Percentage share of Shyam = ( Shyam's share/Total amount) × 100

➝ Percentage share of Shyam = ( 150/450) × 100

➝ Percentage share of Shyam = 15000/450

➝ Percentage share of Shyam = 33.33%

3) Percentage share of Suresh = ( Suresh's share/Total amount) × 100

➝ Percentage share of Suresh = ( 200/450) × 100

➝ Percentage share of Suresh = 20000/450

➝ Percentage share of Suresh = 44.45%
