A sum of money is ti be devide among A,B,C in the ratio of 2,3,5 and the smallest shate is 600 what is the total. Sum of money share and the share of C
600 = 2*300, so
A:B:C = 2:3:5 = 600:900:1500
Now you can answer the questions.
how will the amount given to c will be solved?
2700
To find the total sum of money, we need to first determine the value of the smallest share.
Let's assume the smallest share is represented by the variable 'x'.
According to the given ratio, A:B:C = 2:3:5.
Therefore, the ratio of A's share to the smallest share is 2:x. Similarly, the ratio of B's share to the smallest share is 3:x, and the ratio of C's share to the smallest share is 5:x.
Since we know that the smallest share, represented by x, is 600, we can set up the following proportion:
2:x = 600:1
Cross-multiplying, we get:
2 = 600x
Solving for x:
x = 2/600
x = 300
So, the value of the smallest share (x) is 300.
To find the total sum of money, we sum up the individual shares of A, B, and C.
Total sum of money = A's share + B's share + C's share
A's share = 2 * smallest share = 2 * 300 = 600
B's share = 3 * smallest share = 3 * 300 = 900
C's share = 5 * smallest share = 5 * 300 = 1500
Total sum of money = 600 + 900 + 1500 = 3000
Therefore, the total sum of money is 3000.
Sum of money share:
- A's share = 600
- B's share = 900
- C's share = 1500
