how to divide rupees among peoples in the ratio

Question

divide rs.1162 among A,B,C in the ratio 35:28:20

Answer 1

Hello, Samad ---

First, add 35 + 28 + 30. You will get 83, which is the total number of equal "piles" of rupees that you need to distribute.

For each part, multiply the number of rupees by the fraction that represents each person's share:

(35/83)(1162) = 490

(28/83)(1162)  = 392

(20/83)(1162)  =  280

The division will be 490:392:280
