Solution
Let the money received by Kiran be ₹ x.
Then, the money received by Salma = ₹ (x + 1000)
And the money received by Jenifer = ₹ (x + 500)
According to the question,
x + x + 1000 + x + 500 = 13500
⇒ 3x + 1500 = 13500
⇒ 3x = 13500 – 1500
⇒ 3x = 12000
⇒ x = `12000/3`
∴ x = 4000
Hence, the money received by Jenifer = ₹ 4000 + 500 = ₹ 4500
