amount for rita --- x
amount for seema ---- 500-x
(1/3)x = (1/2)(500-x)
each side times 6
2x = 3(500-x)
2x = 1500-3x
5x = 1500
x = 300
rita gets 300, seema gets 200
check:
what is (1/3) of 300 ?
what is (1/2) of 200 ?
Divide rs.500 between rita and seema such that 1/3 share of rita and 1/2 share of seema are equal?
