Answer 2

Answer:

12) A gets 600,

B gets 300,

C gets 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

let, C gets x.

B gets thrice as much as C.

so, B gets 3x.

And A gets twice as much as B.

so, A gets 2(3x). (as B gets 3x)

A gets 6x.

6x +3x + x = 1000

10x = 1000

x = 100.

so, C gets 100,

B gets 300,

and A gets 600.
