Answer 1

Answer:

Gery will get 45 £,Eddy will get 135 £ and Bernie will get 270 £ of the total share.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Bernie, Eddy and Gery share £450.

Bernie gets twice as much as Eddy.

Eddy gets three times as much as Gery.

So,

Let Gery gets 'x' share of the amount.

Then,

Eddy's share will be '$3x$'

and

Bernie's share will be $2\times 3x=6x$

According to the question.

Total share summation of total share = $450$

⇒ $x+3x+6x=450$

⇒ $10x=450$

⇒ $x=\frac{450}{10}=45$

So Gery's share = 'x' $= 45$

Eddy's share = $3x=3\times 45=135$

Bernie's share = $6x=6\times 45=270$

Gery will get 45 £,Eddy will get 135 £ and Bernie will get 270 £ of the total share.
