Question

If Rs. 250 is to be divided amongst Ravi, Raju, and Roy so that Ravi gets two parts, Raju three parts, and Roy five parts. How much money will each get? What will it be in percentages?

Answer 1

The parts which the three boys are getting can be written in terms of ratios as 2: 3: 5. Total of the parts is 2 + 3 + 5 = 10.

Amounts received by each	Percentages of money for each
${\displaystyle \frac{2}{10}}$ × Rs. 250 = Rs. 50.	Ravi gets ${\displaystyle \frac{2}{10}}$ × 100% = 20%
${\displaystyle \frac{3}{10}}$ × Rs. 250 = Rs. 75.	Raju gets ${\displaystyle \frac{3}{10}}$ × 100% = 30%
${\displaystyle \frac{5}{10}}$ × Rs. 250 = Rs. 125.	Ravi gets ${\displaystyle \frac{5}{10}}$ × 100% = 50%
