Question

Mother divided the money among Ron,Sam and Maria in ratio 2:3:5.if Maria got rd 150,find the total amount and the money received by Ron and Sam.

Answer 1

ratio given = 2:3:5
let the total amount of money be x
therefore , (5/10)x = 150
=>x = (10*150)/5
= > x = RS. 300
ron's share = (2/10)*300
= Rs. 60
sam's share = (3/10)300
= Rs. 90

Answer 2

Solution :
             Let the money that Ron got be = 2x
                 therefore ,
                     money that Sam will get  is = 3x
                    money that maria will get = 5x
maria get a money = 150
               => 5x =150
               => x = 150/5
               => x =30

Hence Ron got a money = 2x
                                       =2*30
                                       =60

    Sam got a money = 3x
                                 =3*30
                                 =90


Hence the total  money = Ron's money + sam's money + Maria's money
                                    = 60 + 90+150
                                   = 300

Hope this helps you!!
