Question

shares for Birr 10,000. What is the value of the business in Bir?

Answer 1

Given:

A man owns 3/4 of the share of a business and sells 1/3 of his shares for Bir 10,000.

To find:

The value of the business in Bir.

Solution:

Let x be the value of the business.

It is given that a man owns 3/4 of the share of a business and sells 1/3 of his shares for Bir 10,000.

`x* (3)/(4)* (1)/(3)=10000`

`x* (1)/(4)=10000`

Multiply both sides by 4.

`x=4* 10000`

`x=40000`

Therefore, the value of the business is 40,000 Bir.
