Question

432 tk. is divided amongst three workers A, B and C such that 8 times A's share is equal to 12 times B's share wich is equal to 6 times of C's share. how much did A get? ​

Answer 1

A got 243 tk

Explanation:

Supose the amount C got was "x"

12 times B's share is 6 times C's share, that would be:

B = 6x

Also, 8 times A's share is 12 times B's share, that would be:

8A = 12B

8A = 12(6x)

8A = 72x

A = 72x/8

A = 9x

Now, we can say:

A = 9x

B = 6x

C = x

We know total is 432, thus we can write and solve for x first:

A + B + C = 432

9x + 6x + x = 432

16x = 432

x = 432/16

x = 27

A got "9x", so plugging in x = 27, we know:

A got 9*27 = 243 tk
