Question

Three boys shared D 10,500.00 in the ratio 6:7: 8. Find the largest share.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the common ratio be x.

boy 1 share= 6x

boy 2 share= 7x

boy 3 share= 8x

-------------------------------

21x= 10500.00

=> x= 10500/21

x= 500

6 x 500= $3000

7x 500= $3500

8 x 500= $28000

therefore, boy 3 has the largest share of $28000.
