£880 is divided between Pip, Sara & Gordon so that Pip gets twice as much as Sara, and Sara gets three times as much as Gordon. How much does Sara get?

I don’t know how to work this out

Answer:

Assume Gordon got X dollar

Then

sara got = 3*x= 3x

Pip got = 2*3x= 6x

Now,

x + 3x + 6x = 880

10x =880

x= 88

Sara got = 3x = 3*88 = 264
