Question

The ratio between Y and X is 7:3. If Y gets Rs. 1500, How much X will gets?

Answer 1

Hi...☺

Here is your answer...✌

Let the common multiple of ratio be k

Then,
Y gets 7k and X gets 3k

but,
Y gets Rs. 1500 [ given ]

=> 7k = 1500

k = 1500/7

Therefore,

X will get = 3k = 3 × 1500/7

= 4500/7

= 642.857

Hence,

X will get Rs. 642.857

Answer 2

Imagine that Y gets 7x rs. and X gets 3x rs.

Hence Y gets Rs.1500

so According to the question,

7x=1500

or, x=1500/7

or, x=214.28 (approx.)

so X will get = 3×214.28 Rs

= 642.84 Rs

hope this helps....
