3 answers
represent this: let a be 3/7b and let b be b,since they share the money: b+3/7b=420,then find b,and a(a=3/7b)
According to the method A=126..but the ans is given A=180..but how?
Divide the $420 into 10 parts of $42 each.
A gets 3 parts, or $126
B gets 7 parts, or $294
In order for A to get 180, either
B gets 420 or a gets 3/7 of the total, not 3/7 of B's share.
