A sum of money is divided between A,B and C in the ratio 9:8:7. If the total sum of money shared is 480. How much money does A r

mr Goodwill [35]

Given:

A sum of money is divided between A,B and C in the ratio 9:8:7.

Total sum is 480.

To find:

The part of money A get.

Solution:

Let A, B and C get 9x, 8x and 7x respectively.

Total sum is 480.

$9x+8x+7x=480$

$24x=480$

Divide both sides by 24.

$x=\dfrac{480}{24}$

$x=20$

Now,

$A\ get =9x$

$A\ get =9(20)$

$A\ get =180$

Therefore, amount received by A is 180.
