Question

A sum of money was distributed between A and B such that A got 60% of all the money.If B got 1170 less than A ,how much money was distributed between A and B.

Answer 1

So, B = A - 1170, and,

 

B got .4(x)   which is 40% of the money, and

 

A got .6(x)  which is 60% of the money, so,

 

.4(x) = .6(x) - 1170

 

1170 = .2(x)

 

x = 5850
