Question

the share of A is 3/8th of the total share of B and C.The total share of A,B,C is 550,,find the share of A?

Answer 1

Let the total share of B and C be x.

The share of A is :

3/8 × x = 3/8 x

3/8x + x = 550

3x + 8x = 550 × 8

3x + 8x = 4400

11x = 4400

x = 400

The share of A is :

550 - 400 = 150
