Question

If 2500 is to be divided among Ravi, Raju and Roy, so that Ravi gets two parts, Raju has

three parts and Roy five parts. How much money will each get? What will it be in percentages?

Answer 1

The money each will get are 500 to Ravi , 750 to Raju and 1250 to Ravi. And there percentages are Ravi's 20%, Raju's 30% and Roy's 50%.

Explanation:

Given:

2500 is to be divided among Ravi, Raju and Roy, so that Ravi gets two parts, Raju has three parts and Roy five parts.

Now, to find the money each will get and the percentages of it.

Let the price of one part be
`x.`

The price of two parts be
`2x.`

The price of three parts be
`3x.`

And the price of five parts be
`5x.`

According to question:

`2x+3x+5x=2500.`

`10x=2500`

Dividing both sides by 10 we get:

`x=250.`

Ravi gets two parts =
`2x=2* 250=500.`

Raju gets three parts =
`3x=3* 250=750.`

Roy gets five parts =
`5x=5* 250=1250.`

Now, the percentage of the money they get:

Percentage of Ravi's share:

`(500)/(2500) * 100\\=(50000)/(2500) \\=20\%.`

Percentage of Raju's share:

`(750)/(2500) * 100\\\\=30\%.`

Percentage of Roy's share:

`(1250)/(2500) * 100\\\\=50\%.`

Therefore, the money each will get are 500 to Ravi , 750 to Raju and 1250 to Ravi. And there percentages are Ravi's 20%, Raju's 30% and Roy's 50%.
