Answer:
Each boy gets approximately Rs 13.09
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Total money = Rs 144
Let x be the amount each girl gets and y be the amount each boy gets.
The money is distributed among 2 boys and 3 girls. Thus, we can write:
[tex]3x + 2y = 144[/tex]
Also, each girl gets three times as much as each boy gets.
Thus, we can write:
[tex]x = 3y[/tex]
Substituting these values, we get,
[tex]3(3y) + 2y = 144\\11y = 144\\\\y =\dfrac{144}{11} \approx 13.09\\\\x = 3(\dfrac{144}{11}) \approx 39.27[/tex]
Thus, each boy gets approximately Rs 13.09
Answer: each boy should get $39.27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount that each boy should get.
Let y represent the amount that each girl should get.
The total amount of money that would be distributed among the 2 boys and 3 girls is 144 Rs. This is expressed as
2x + 3y = 144 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
The money is shared in such a way that each girl gets three times as much as each boy gets. This is expressed as
y = 3x
Substituting y = 3x into equation 1, it becomes
2x + 3 × 3x = 144
2x + 9x = 144
11x = 144
x = 144/11 = 13.09
y = 3x = 3 × 13.09
y = $39.27
