Question

Tiplem and Embhah won a cash prize, which they agreed to share in the ratio of 5:3. if Tiplem received rs 1250, how much did Embhah receive? Also find the total amount.

Answer 1

Tiplem : Embhah = 5 : 3

Define x:

Let x be the constant ratio

Tiplem : Embhah = 5x : 3x

Form equation and solve for x:

5x = 1250

x = 1250 ÷ 5 = Rs 250

Find the total amount:

5x + 3x = 8x

8x = 8 (250) = Rs 2000

Answer: The total amount is Rs 2000

Answer 2

Given

Ratio = 5 : 3

Tiplem received = Rs 1250

let the ratio = 5x : 3x

5x = 1250

X = 1250/5

X = 250

Finding the total amount

Tiplem received 5x = 5(250) = 1250

Embhah received 3x = 3(250) = 750

Total amount = 1250 + 750 = 2000

$\bold{Total\: Amount \: = \: Rs \: 2000}$
