Question

Three children Awuni,Baba and Isaka were given 160 oranges to share.Awuni got of the 1/4 oranges.Baba and Isaka shared the reminder in the ratio 3:2 respectively.Find how many oranges Baba received . How many oranges did Isaka receive than Awuni

Answer 1

Answer:

A + B + C = 160

A = 1/4*160 = 40

B/C = 3:2 of remaining 120 oranges

So,

3x + 2x = 120

5x = 120

x = 120/5 = 24

B = 72

C = 48

Baba (B) received 72 oranges.

Awuni (A) = 40

Isaka (C) = 48.

Isaka received 08 oranges more than Awuni.
