Question

Distribute $1000 into three parts so that one part will be three times as large as the second and the third part will be as large as the sum of the other two.​

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

x = part 1

3x = part 2

x + 3x = part 3 summed, they equal 1000

x + 3x + x + 3x = 1000

8x = 1000

x = 125 3x = 385 third part = 500
