Question

Divide £7000 in the ratio 3:7

Answer 1

3x + 7x = 10x = 7000 and x = 700 so 3(700) and 7(700) so it’s £2100:£4900

Answer 2

Answer: The required divided parts are £2100 and £4900.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to divide £7000 in the ratio 3 : 7.

Let the required parts be 3x and 7x.

Then, according to the given information, we must have

`3x+7x=7000\\\\\Rightarrow 10x=7000\\\\\Rightarrow x=(7000)/(10)\\\\\Rightarrow x=700.`

Therefore, the divided parts are

`p_1=3*700=2100,\\\\p_2=7*700=4900.`

Thus, the required divided parts are £2100 and £4900.
