A sum of money is to be distributed amoung A,B,C,D in the proportion of 5:2:4:3. If C gets K1000 more than D, waht is B's share?
To find B's share, we need to determine the total amount of money being distributed.
Let's denote the total sum of money as X.
According to the given proportions, the amounts received by A, B, C, and D will be (5x, 2x, 4x, and 3x) respectively.
We are also given that C receives K1000 more than D, which can be expressed as:
4x = 3x + K1000
To find the value of K1000, we solve this equation:
4x - 3x = K1000
x = K1000
So, the value of x is K1000.
Now, we can determine B's share:
B's share = 2x = 2 * K1000 = K2000
Therefore, B's share is K2000.
