Question

A sum of Rs 5500 is to be divided between Raman and Aman in the ratio 2 : 3. How much will each get?

Answer 1

We have
Sum of the terms of the ratio = 2 + 3 = 5, and the total sum = Rs 5500
Therefore, Raman's share = $\left(\frac{2}{5}\times 5500\right)$ = Rs 2200
Aman's share = $\left(\frac{3}{5}\times 5500\right)$ = Rs 3300
