Question

Divide 25000 in the ratio 2:3:5

Answer 1

Answer:

5000, 7500, 12500

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 + 3 + 5 = 10$

$25000$ ÷ $10$ = $2500$

$2500$ × $2 = 5000$

$2500$ × $3 = 7500$

$2500$ × $5 = 12500$

$\therefore$ $25000$ will split into $5000$, $7500$, and $12500$.

To check if the answer is correct, you can add the values up and see if they sum up to $25000$:

$5000 + 7500 + 12500 = 25000$

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Let the parts be 2x, 3x and 5x.

Sum= 25000

Therefore,2x+3x+5x=25000

10x=25000

x=25000/10

x=2500

Therefore, parts:-

1. 2×2500=5000

2. 3×2500=7500

3. 5×2500=12500
