Question

Sushil & Raj share a lottery win of £1850 in the ratio 1 : 4.
Sushil then shares his part between himself, his wife & their son in the ratio 6 : 3 : 1.
How much more does his wife get over their son?

Answer 1

Answer:

296

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sushil share be x.

.:1x+4x=1850

5x=1850

x=1850/5

= 370

4x= 370×4

= 1480

Let son's share be y

6y+3y+y=4x

10y=1480

y=1480/10

= 148

Wife's share = 3y

= 3×148

= 444

Son's share = y

= 148

.:296(444-148) extra share get by his wife
