Question

Jayden and caden share a reward ₹140 in the ratio of 2:5. What fraction of total reward does jayden get

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the Share of Jayden and Caden be 2x and 5x respectively.

$\underline{\bigstar\:\textsf{According to the Question :}}$

$:\implies\tt Jayden+Caden=Rs.\:140\\\\\\:\implies\tt 2x+5x=Rs.\:140\\\\\\:\implies\tt 7x=Rs.\:140\\\\\\:\implies\tt x=\dfrac{Rs.\:140}{7}\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\tt x=Rs.\:20}}$

$\rule{200}{1}$

$\underline{\bigstar\:\textsf{Share of Jayden :}}$

$\dashrightarrow\tt\:\:Jayden=2x\\\\\\\dashrightarrow\tt\:\:Jayden=2(Rs.\:20)\\\\\\\dashrightarrow\:\:\underline{\boxed{\red{\tt Jayden=Rs.\:40}}}$

⠀

$\therefore\:\underline{\textsf{Jayden will get total reward of \textbf{Rs. 40}}.}$
