Question

Three people share 59 920 so that the first get twice as much as the second and the second get twice as much as the third. How much does the first get??

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the third person get x

Therefore 2 person gets 2x

And 3 person gets 2*2x = 4x

Total = 59,920

x + 2x + 4x = 59,920

7x = 59,920

x = 8560

So first person gets 4x

=> 4 * 8560

=> 34,240

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

First Person gets  34,240.

GIVEN: Three people share 59 920
TO FIND Amount the first person will get.
SOLUTION:

Let the Third person get x.

Implying that,

The second person gets 2x

And,

First-person gets 2*2x = 4x

According to the question,

Total                       = 59,920

x + 2x + 4x              = 59,920

7x                            = 59,920

x                              = 8560

Since,

The First person gets 4x

4 * 8560 = 34,240
