Question
A sum of Rs. 27,600 was divided between 'A' and 'B'
such that the amount received by 'B' was 30% more than that by 'A'. If 'A' and 'B' spent 10% and 25% of the respective amounts received by them, then find the sum of amounts spent by 'A' and 'B' together.Solution
Let the amount received by ‘A’ = Rs. ‘10x’ Then amount received by ‘B’ = 10x × 1.3 = Rs. ‘13x’ we have, 10x + 13x = 27600 So, x = 27600 ÷ 23 = 1200 So, amount received by ‘A’ = 10 × 1200 = Rs. 12,000
Amount received by ‘B’ = 13 × 1200 = Rs. 15,600 Amount spent by ‘A’ = 12000 × 0.1 = Rs. 1,200
Amount spent by ‘B’ = 15600 × 0.25 = Rs. 3,900 So, required sum = 1200 + 3900 = Rs. 5,100
