Question

Jim and Krutika win some money and share it in the ratio 3:1. Jim gets £40 more than Krutika.

How much did they get altogether?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the amount that Krutika gets be x, therefore, gets him the amount that jim get will be x +40

therefore 3/1=x+40/x

hence 3x=x+40

therefore x=40/2

x=20

Answer 2

let the amount that Krutika gets be x, therefore, gets him the amount that jim get will be x +40

therefore 3/1=x+40/x

hence 3x=x+40

therefore x=40/2

x=20
