Question 22

Fill in the blanks to make each statement true:

The share of A when Rs. 25 are divided between A and B, so that A gets Rs. 8 more than B, is ...................

Answer 1

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