Question

Johny and Rahul divided the benefit of the business in the ratio 7:9. If

Rahul got 4878 rupees as benefit did Johny get?

Answer 1

3,794 rupees

Explanation:

Johny got 7 parts of the benefit while Rahul got 9. This can be represented as a fraction: 7/9

To solve this problem, we can use cross multiplication, where x represents the amount of rupees Johny got:

`(7)/(9)` =
`(x)/(4878)`

Multiply 7 by 4,878: 34,146

Multiply 9 by x: 9x

Now the equation looks like this:

9x = 34,146

Divide both sides of the equation by 9 to isolate the x:

9x/9 = 34,146/9

x = 3,794

Johny got 3,794 rupees.

Answer 2

Explanation:

7:9 = x:4878

4878/9 times 7

3794 would be your answer
