Question

Rs. 13500 are to be distributed among Salma, Kiran and Jenifer in such a way that Salma gets
Rs. 1000 more than Kiran and Jenifer gets Rs. 500 more than Kiran. Find the money received by
Jenifer

Answer 1

SOLUTION:

Let the money received by Kiran be Rs. x

Then,

The money received by Salma will be = Rs. (x + 1000)

[According to the question]

And also the money received by Jenifer = Rs. (x + 500)

[According to the question]

Now,

Again(the question tells that)

Total money distributed among Salma, Kiran and Jenifer are Rs. 13500

So,

⇒ x + x + 1000 + x + 500 = 13500

⇒ 3x + 1500 = 13500

⇒ 3x = 13500 - 1500

[By transporting 1500 to RHS]

⇒ 3x = 12000

⇒ x = 12000 ÷ 3

[By tansporting 3 to RHS]

∵ x = 4000

So, the value of x = 4000

Hence

the money received by Jenifer is

= Rs. x + 500 = 4000 + 500 = Rs. 4500

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• Total money = ₹13,500
• Salma gets
• Rs. 1000 more than Kiran and Jenifer gets Rs. 500 more than Kiran.

To Find :-

Money recived by Jenifer

Solution :-

Let the samla rupees be y

Salma = y

Kiran = y + 1000

Jenifer = y + 500

$\implies$ y + y + 1000 + y + 500 = 13,500

$\implies$ 3y + 1000 + 500 = 13,500

$\implies$ 3y + 1500 = 13,500

$\implies$ 3y = 13,500 - 1500

$\implies$ 3y = 12,000

$\sf \implies$ y = 12,000/3

$\implies$ y = 4,000

Jenifer rupees = 4000 + 500 = 4500
