Question

As. 2700 is divided between Asha, Babita and Sushmitha such that Asha gets Rs. 300 more than Babita and Sushmitha gets half of what Ashamed gets. How much do they each get?

Answer 1

Let the Amount of money that Asha, Babita and Sushmitha get be X, Y, Z respectively.

Since we know that the total amount is 2700 Rs.
=> X+Y+Z=2700..........(1)

We know that Asha gets Rs. 300 more than Babita, which means
=>X=300+Y
=>Y=X-300

We also know that Sushmita gets half of Asha, which means
=>X/2=Z

Now substituting both in Eq (1):
=>X+X-300+X/2=2700
=>X+X+X/2=2700+300
=>5X/2=3000
=>X=3000*2/5
=>X=6000/5=1200

So we have X= 1200

Then, We get Y= X-300=1200-300=900

We get Z= X/2 = 1200/2= 600

The amount that Asha gets = 1200 Rs.
The amount that Babita gets = 900 Rs.
The amount that Sushmita gets = 600 Rs.
