Question

Three numbers are in the ratio 2:3:4and their sum is 225 . Find the numbers

Answer 1

The numbers are 2x:3x:4x
Sum=2x+3x+4x=9x
9x=225 then x=25
Therefore the numbers are 50, 75,100

Answer 2

2x + 3x + 4x = 225 - - - - (1)


=> 9x = 225

=> x = 225/9

=> x = 25


Substitute the x value IN (1)

=> 2(25)+3(25)+4(25) = 50 + 75 + 100 is the answer
