Question

Divide $940 among A,B,C in the ratio 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5

Answer 1

A = $400, B = $300, C = $240

Explanation:

The ratio will be
`(20)/(60):(15)/(60):(12)/(60)`, that means the total of them is (20 + 15 + 12 = 47).

Divide $940 by 47 to find the value of 1 unit
`(940)/(47)=20`

A = 20 × 20 = $400

B = 20 × 15 = $300

C = 20 × 12 = $240
