Question

The salaries of a, b, and c are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. The salary of b and c together is rs. 6000. By what percent is the salary of c more than that of a?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the sum of total salary of a, b and c is x

So as per the given ratio salary of a is $\frac{1}{6}x$

salary of b is =$\frac{2x}{6}$

and salary of c is =$\frac{3x}{6}$

Now the sum of salary of salary b and c is;

$\frac{2x}{6}+\frac{3x}{6}=6000\\\frac{5x}{6}=6000;\\   by solving this \\we get\\x=(6000*6)/5;\\x=7200\\Now putting the value of x in above equations;\\salary of a is 7200/6=1200 \\salary of b is (2x/6)=2400\\salary of c is (3x/6)=3600\\Percentage of c is more than a is=(3600-1200)/1200=2 \\ Expressing this into percentange it is 200%Means salary of c is 200 percent  more than a$
