Question

£200 is divided between Peter, Angad & Nick so that Peter gets twice as much as Angad, and Angad gets three times as much as Nick. How much does Angad get?

Answer 1

Let the amount Nick gets = x

Angad gets 3x ( 3 times as much as Nick)

Peter gets 6x (Twice as much as Angad)

Add together to equal the total amount:

x + 3x + 6x = 200

Simplify:

10x = 200

Divide both sides by 10:

x = 20

Angad gets 3x = 3(20) = 60
