Question

£60 is divided between Peter, Angad & Nick so that Peter gets twice as much as Angad, and Angad gets three times as much as Nick. How much does Peter get?

Answer 1

60£

Peter = 2 Angard

Angard = 3 Nick

Peter = 2 Angard = 6 Nick

Angard = 3 Nick

Nick = 1 Nick

6+3+1=10 Nick

60£/10 = 6£

Nick = 6£

Angvard = 3 Nick = 6£*(3) = 18£

Peter = 6 Nick = 6£*(6) = 36£

(prove: 6+18+36=60£)
