Question

Help Rs. 100 are divided between Sangeeta and Manish in the ratio 4:1. Find the

amount Sangeeta gets.

Answer 1

`4x+x=100`

`5x=100`

`x= (100)/(5)`

`x=20`

`4×20=80`

Sangeetha gets 80

Answer 2

80

Explanation:

4+1 = 5 This is the total amount of shares

100÷5 = 20 This is how much is in 1 share

So 4 shares, which is how many shares Sangeeta receives, is:

4×20=80

So 80 is the amount Sangeeta gets
