Answer 1

Answer:

20, 30 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

let us assume 2 : 3 : 3 as 2x, 3x, 3x

2x + 3x + 3x = 80

8x = 80

x = 80/8 = 10

therefore , x=10

now just add the value of "x" which is 10 to 2x, 3x and 3x

so,

2x= 2x10=20

3x = 3x10=30

3x = 3x10=30

each person will get 20, 30 and 30
