£50 is divided between Krutika, Natasha & Richard so that Krutika gets twice as much as Natasha, and Natasha gets three times as much as Richard. How much does Krutika get?
To find out how much Krutika gets, we need to set up a system of equations based on the given information.
Let's assume that Richard gets x amount of money.
According to the given conditions:
- Krutika gets twice as much as Natasha, so Krutika gets 2x.
- Natasha gets three times as much as Richard, so Natasha gets 3x.
The total amount of money is £50, so the equation becomes:
x + 3x + 2x = 50
Combining like terms:
6x = 50
Dividing both sides by 6:
x = 8.33
Now we can find how much Krutika gets:
Krutika gets 2x, so Krutika gets 2 * 8.33 = £16.66.
Therefore, Krutika gets £16.66.
Let x = Richard's amount
Natasha gets 3x
Krutika gets 2*3x = 6x
Now add them up: x + 3x + 6x = 50
Find x and you're almost done.
