Answer 1

༺$\huge \tt {\pink{\underline{\fbox{\blue{Answer}}}}}$༻

Total amount = $520

Sharing Ratio = 2 : 4 : 7

$\underline\green{Solution : }$

First Student Ratio : 2

Second Student Ratio : 4

Third Student Ratio : 7

Total Quantities of ratio = 2 + 4 + 7 = 13

Formula applied :

Share = Ratio of Student / Total quantities of ratio × Total amount

First Student share :

= 2/13 × 520

= $80

Second student share:

= 4/13 × 520

= $160

Third Student share :

= 7/13 × 520

= $280 .

Proof :

Total share = $520

( 80 + 160 + 280 )= $520

$520 = $520
