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:

Amount received by Jae = x

Amount received by Jaspar = 3x

Amount received by Kas = 2 × 3x

= 6x

Total = x + 3x + 6x

= 10x

x = 400/10

x = 40

Amount received by Jasper = 3x

= 3 × 40

= $120

Hence, Jasper received $ 120

Hope this helps :)
