Open in App

Solution

Rs. 16.5
Let, B's share be Rs. x. Then, A's share=Rs. (x+8)
According to the equation,
$x + x + 8 = 25 \Rightarrow 2 x + 8 = 25 \Rightarrow 2 x = 25 - 8 \Rightarrow 2 x = 17 \Rightarrow \frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{17}{2} \Rightarrow x = 8.5$
Hence, A's share=8.5+8=Rs. 16.5

Rs. 16.5 Let, B's share be Rs. x. Then, A's share=Rs. (x+8) According to the equation, x+x+8=25⇒2x+8=25⇒2x=25−8⇒2x=17⇒2x2=172⇒x=8.5 Hence, A's share=8.5+8=Rs. 16.5
