Question

N$ 400 is divided between Kas, Jaspar and Jae so that Kas has twice as much as Jaspar and Jaspar has three times as much as Jae. How much does Jaspar receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount given Jae be X

Therefore amount of Jasper is 3x

Therefore amount of Kas is 6x

Total is 10x

400/10x=40

X=40

Therefore amount of Kas = 6*40=240

Jasper = 3*40=120

Jae = 40

Answer 2

Answer:

kas gets 240 , jaspar gets 120 and jae gets 40

Step-by-step explanation:

let kas be x , jasper be y , and jae be z

given ; x=2y

           y= 3z

x+y+z=400

therefore 2y+y+(y/3) = 3y+(y/3) =(9y+y)/3 = 10y/3=400

therefore y/3=40

y=120

so , z=y/3     that implies z=40

and x= 2*y=2*120=240
