Question
Amit had 650 pens. He gave 40% of them to Suman and Rishi in the ratio 3:2. Find the difference between the number of pens left with Amit and the number Suman received.
Solution
ATQ,
Number of pens distributed by Amit = 650 × 0.40 = 260 Number of pens left with Amit = 650 – 260 = 390 Number of pens received by Suman = 260 × 3/5 = 156 Desired difference = 390 – 156 = 234
