_____________________________

To Find:-

The total amount they divided.

_____________________________

Solution:-

Let the amount Sita got be 3x and Soby got 2x (Here we took the values 3x and 2x since the ratio is 3:2)

Amount Sita got ⇒ 3x = 480

Let's find the value of 'x'.

⇒ 3x = 480

⇒ x = 480 ÷ 3

⇒ x = 160

∴ Amount Soby got ⇒ 2x ⇒ 2(160) = 320

Now we know the amount Sita and Soby got respectively. Now with those values, we will find the total amount they divided.

Amount Sita Got + Amount Soby Got = Total Amount

480 + 320 = 800

∴ The total amount they divided is Rs. 800
