Rs 144 is distributed among 2 boys and 3 girls in such a way that each boy gets tree times of what each girl gets. Find how much each boy should get.
X=16 x=48
48
girl's share --- x
boy's share --- 3x
2(3x) + 3x = 144
etc
144/9
Give answer any one.
Wrong
To find out how much each boy should get, we can break down the problem into steps:
Step 1: Let's assume that each girl gets x amount. Therefore, each boy gets 3x amount.
Step 2: We know that the total amount distributed is Rs 144. So, we can write an equation based on the given information:
2 * (3x) + 3 * x = 144
Step 3: Simplify the equation:
6x + 3x = 144
9x = 144
Step 4: Solve for x:
x = 144 / 9
x = 16
Step 5: Now that we have the value of x, we can find out how much each boy should get by multiplying it with 3:
Each boy should get 3 * x = 3 * 16 = Rs 48.
Therefore, each boy should get Rs 48.
