Question

Three friends had dinner at a restaurant. When the bill was received, Akshitha paid 2/3 as much as Veena paid and Veena paid 1/2 as much as Lasya paid. What fraction of the bill did Veena pay ?

Answer 1

Let Veena paid x,
so Akshitha paid 2x/3 , and Lasya paid 2x,
So total bill paid is given by
x+(2x/3) +2x = 1, we get
i.e. x = 3/11

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let Tanya share =Rs x

Then, Veena share = Rs(x/2)

Anita share =Rs(2/3+x/2) = Rs(x/3)

Total bill=Rs (x+x/2+x/3) = Rs(11x/6)

Required fraction=(x/2*6/11x) = 3/11
