Question

280 is divided between Krutika, Natasha & Richard so that Krutika gets twice as much as Natasha, and Natasha gets three times as much as Richard. How much does Natasha get?

Answer 1

Natasha gets 84

Explanation:

Here, we want to know how much Natasha gets

Krutika gets 2 times as much as Natasha

If Natasha gets x, Krutika gets 2x

If Natasha gets x, Richard will get x/3 ( 3 times of this is what Natasha gets)

Now let us have a ratio;

K : N : R

2x : x : x/3

Multiply through by 3

6x : 3x : x

To get the amount Natasha gets, we add up all ratio; (6x + 3x + x ) = 10x

Natasha gets 3x of the total ratio

That will be;

3x /10x * 280

= 3/10 * 280

= 84
