Question 80

Solve the following:

Rs. 13500 are to be distributed among Salma, Kiran and Jenifer in such a way that Salma gets Rs. 1000 more than Kiran and Jenifer gets Rs. 500 more than Kiran. Find the money received by Jenifer.

Answer 1

Let the money received by Kiran be Rs. x
Then, the money received by Salma=Rs. (x+1000)
and the money received by Jenifer=Rs. (x+500)
According to the question,
x+x+1000+x+500=13500
$\Rightarrow 3x+1500=13500\Rightarrow 3x=13500-1500\Rightarrow 3x=12000\Rightarrow x=\frac{12000}{3}\therefore x=4000$
Hence, the money received by Jenifer=Rs. 4000+500=Rs. 4500
