Question

£140 is divided between Angad, Nick & June so that Angad gets twice as much as Nick, and Nick gets three times as much as June. How much does Angad get?

Answer 1

£84

Explanation:

The given ratios are ...

A : N = 2 : 1

N : J = 3 : 1

Putting these together, we have ...

A : N : J = 6 : 3 : 1

There are a total of 6+3+1 = 10 ratio units, so each is worth £140/10 = £14.

Angad's share is 6×£14 = £84.
