Given:
Amount = 8700
Time = 3 years
Rate of interest = 24% per annum
To find:
The principal values.
Solution:
Formula for amount:

Where, A is amount, P is principal, r is the rate of interest and t is the number of years.
Putting
, we get




Divide both sides by 1.906624.



Therefore, the principal value is about 4563.04.
R=5
B=4+G
Y=G-3
R+B+Y+G=24
(5)+(4+G)+(G-3)+G=24
5+4+G+G-3+G=24
3G+6=24
3G=18
G=6
B=4+(6)
B=10
Y=(6)-3
y=3
answer
R+B+Y+G=24
5+10+3+6=24
Answer:
£50 and £300
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum the parts of the ratio 1 + 6 = 7 parts
Divide the amount by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio
£350 ÷ 7 = £50 ← value of 1 part of ratio
Hence
1 person receives £50
the other person receives 6 × £50 = £300
