Answer 2

Let the three parts of money be 5x, 7x and 8x.

5x=225
x = 225/5
x = 45
According to question,
If x = 45, then,
5x = 225
7x = 315
8x = 360
Total money = 225 + 315 + 360
= 900

Answer: The three parts of money are Rs. 225, Rs.315, Rs. 360 and the total sum of money is Rs. 900.


I hope the answers are correct :-)
