Question

£560 is divided between Kate, Nima & Roshana so that Kate gets twice as much as Nima, and Nima gets three times as much as Roshana. How much does Nima get?

Answer 1

£168

Explanation:

Amount to be shared = 560

Roshana's share = x

Nima's share = 3x

Kate's share = 2 * 3x = 6x

X + 3x + 6x = 560

10x = 560

x = 560 / 10

x = 56

Nima's share = 3x

Nima's share = 3* 56 = £168
