Given

• Ramen has three times as much money as Misha.
• When Ramen gave ₹ 750 to Misha , he had only twice as much as her

To Find

• The money Ramen and Misha had initially was

Solution

Let the money initially Ramen has be " x "

Misha's money be " y "

A/c , " Ramen has three times as much money as Misha "

⇒ x = 3y ... (1)

A/c , " When Ramen gave ₹ 750 to Misha , he had only twice as much as her "

⇒ x - 750 = 2 ( y + 750 )

⇒ x - 750 = 2y + 1500

⇒ x - 2y = 2250

⇒ 3y - 2y = 2250 [ From (1) ]

⇒ y = 2250

Sub. y value in (1) , we get ,

⇒ x = 3 ( 2250 )

⇒ x = 6750
