Question

Three prizes were distributed. The value of second price is 5/6 of the value of first prize and the value of third prize is 4/5 of second prize. If total value of three prizes is 450rs find value of each prize.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of first prize= ₹180

Cost of second prize = ₹150

Cost of third prize =₹ 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the value of first prize be ₹ x

Then,

Value of second prize=5x/6

Value of third prize=4/5*5x/6

=20x/30

=2x/3

Acccording to the question,

x+5x/6+2x/3=450

x+5x+4x/6=450

x+9x/6=450

x+3x/2=450

2x+3x/2=450

5x=900

x=₹ 180

Hence,

Cost of first prize= ₹180

Cost of second prize= (5/6*180) = ₹150

Cost of third prize= (2/3*180) =₹ 120

Hope it helps....
