Answer:
Gery will get 45 £,Eddy will get 135 £ and Bernie will get 270 £ of the total share.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Bernie, Eddy and Gery share £450.
Bernie gets twice as much as Eddy.
Eddy gets three times as much as Gery.
So,
Let Gery gets 'x' share of the amount.
Then,
Eddy's share will be '[tex]3x[/tex]'
and
Bernie's share will be [tex]2\times 3x=6x[/tex]
According to the question.
Total share summation of total share = [tex]450[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x+3x+6x=450[/tex]
⇒ [tex]10x=450[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=\frac{450}{10}=45[/tex]
So Gery's share = 'x' [tex]= 45[/tex]
Eddy's share = [tex]3x=3\times 45=135[/tex]
Bernie's share = [tex]6x=6\times 45=270[/tex]
Gery will get 45 £,Eddy will get 135 £ and Bernie will get 270 £ of the total share.
