£510 is divided between Sarah, Gavyn & Alex so that Sarah gets twice as much as Gavyn, and Gavyn gets three times as much as Alex. How much does Gavyn get? |

Answer» Given, Total money for distribution = £510 3 × Money of Alex = Gavyn's money 2× Money of Gavyn = Sarah's money For, CALCULATING the DISTRIBUTED amount of money among three of them,we have to take x (variable) as the amount of money recieved by Alex. So, Alex got = £ x Gavyn got = 3 × x = £ 3x Sarah got = 2 × 3x = £ 6x Now, the total money = (x+3x+6x) = £ 10x If we compare the value of total money given in the question,and the value of total money that we've CALCULATED,then we will get the following mathematical equation. 10x = 510 x = 51 Alex got = £ 51 Gavyn got = 3 ×51 = £ 153 Sarah got = 153 × 2 = £ 306 Hence, Alex received £51, Gavyn recieved £153 and Sarah recieved £ 306. |
