Question

Three numbers are in the ratio 3:4:8 and their sum is 975.Find the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

3x+4x+8x=975

15x=975

x=975/15

x=65

The numbers are

3*65=195

4*65=260

8*65=520

Answer 2

LET The numbers be x.

$\mapsto$3X,4X and 8X.

their sum is 975.

$3x + 4x + 8x = 975 \\ 15x = 975 \\ x = \frac{ \cancel9\cancel7\cancel5}{\cancel1\cancel5} \\ x = 65. \\ \\ so \: the \: numbers \: are \\ \: 3 \times 65 = 195. \\ 4 \times 65 = 260. \\ 8 \times 65 = 520.$
