Question

.. Mitesh, Mihir, Siddharth and Prashant
paid a bill of restaurant unequally. The
ratio of amount paid by Mitesh to Mihir
is 7: 8. Siddharth paid half the amount
Mihir paid and Prashant paid half the
amount Siddharth paid. If the bill amount
is 2100, find the amount paid by each.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mitesh = 7×100 = 700

Mihir = 8×100 = 800

Siddharth = 4×100 = 400

Prashant = 2×100 = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mitesh : Mihir be 7x : 8x

Amount paid by Siddharth = half of Mihir = 4x

Amount paid by Prashant = half of Siddharth = 2x

Total amount = 7x + 8x + 4x + 2x = 21x

Thus, 2100 = 21x

x = 100

Amount paid by each is as follows

Mitesh = 7×100 = 700

Mihir = 8×100 = 800

Siddharth = 4×100 = 400

Prashant = 2×100 = 200
