Dividing Money Given Ratio

The company paid three employees 50 euros, 100 euros, and 60 euros. They are to receive a total of 735 euros for further work. How will they divide this amount if it is divided in the ratio as in the first case?

Final Answer:

a =  175 Eur
b =  350 Eur
c =  210 Eur

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} k=\frac{735}{50+100+60}=\frac{7}{2}=3.5 \\ a=50\cdot k=50\cdot \frac{7}{2}=\frac{50\cdot 7}{2}=\frac{350}{2}=175\text{Eur} \end{gathered}$$

$b=100\cdot k=100\cdot \frac{7}{2}=\frac{100\cdot 7}{2}=\frac{700}{2}=350\text{Eur}$

$c=60\cdot k=60\cdot \frac{7}{2}=\frac{60\cdot 7}{2}=\frac{420}{2}=210\text{Eur}$
