Share $120,000 among three pupils in the ratio of their ages 4,3 and 5 respectively. How much will each of them get ?

Answer 1

To find out how much each pupil will get, we need to divide the total amount by the sum of the ratio numbers (4 + 3 + 5 = 12).

The first pupil (age 4) will get: (4/12) * $120,000 = $40,000.
The second pupil (age 3) will get: (3/12) * $120,000 = $30,000.
The third pupil (age 5) will get: (5/12) * $120,000 = $50,000.

So, the first pupil will get $40,000, the second pupil will get $30,000, and the third pupil will get $50,000.
