Question

three friends went for a picnic. first brought five apples and the second brought three. the third friend however brought only rs.8. what is the share of the first friend?

Answer 1

The share of the first friend is Rs. 5

Given that;

First friend brought 5 apples.

Second friend brought 3 apples

Third friend brought Rs. 8.

Step 1: Calculate the total number of apples brought by both friends. - First friend brought 5 apples. - Second friend brought 3 apples. - Total apples = 5 + 3 = 8 apples.

Step 2: Calculate the price of each apple. - Third friend brought Rs. 8. - Total apples = 8 apples. - Price per apple = Total amount / Total apples = Rs. 8 / 8 = Rs. 1 per apple.

Step 3: Calculate the share of the first friend. - First friend brought 5 apples. - Price per apple = Rs. 1. - Share of the first friend = Number of apples * Price per apple = 5 * Rs. 1

= Rs. 5.
