Question

Divide ₹6720 in the ratio $$5 : 3$$.

Answer 1

Total amount = ₹ 6720.

Sum of the ratio terms = $$5 + 3 = 8$$. 

First part = $$₹\left(6720 \times \frac{5}{8}\right) = ₹(840 \times 5) = \text{₹ } 4200$$. 

 Second part = $$₹\left(6720 \times \frac{3}{8}\right) = ₹(840 \times 3) = \text{₹ } 2520$$.

Therefore, the two parts are ₹ 4200 and ₹ 2520.
