Answer 1

The ratio of the expenses shared by Akmal to Bakri to Cadin is 7 : 4 : 3

Explanation:

The 3 of them shares their mother medical expenses which cost RM4200 . There mother medical expenses is RM4200 in total. Cadin pays RM2100 which is half of their mother medical expenses. Then Akmal pays three quarters of Bakri amount.

Let

The amount Bakri pays = a

Akmal pays = 3/4 of a

Akmal pays = 3/4a

Therefore,

a + 3a/4 = 2100

4a + 3a/ 4 = 2100

7a/4 = 2100

cross multiply

7a = 8400

divide both sides by 7

a = 8400/7

a = 1200

Therefore,

Bakri pays =RM 1200

Akmal pays = 3/4 × 1200 =RM 900

The ratio of the expenses shared by AKmal to Bakri to Cadin is expressed as 2100 : 1200 : 900. Divide through by 300

7 : 4 : 3
