Question 24
Mayank, Mirza, Little and Jaspal bought a motorbike for $60. Mayank paid one-half of the sum of the amounts paid by the other boys. Mirza paid one-third of the sum of the amounts paid by the other boys. Little paid one-fourth of the sum of the amounts paid by the other boys. How much did Jaspal have to pay?
Solution
Let the amount paid by Mayank be x. So, amount paid by the other three = 2x
=> Total bill = x+2x = 3x = 60 => x = 20. So, Mayank paid 20
Similarly, amount paid by Mirza + 3*Amount paid by Mirza = 60
=> Amount paid by Mirza = 15
Amount paid by Little + 4*Amount paid by Little = 60
=> Amount paid by Little = 12
So, amount paid by Jaspal = 60 - (20+15+12) = 60 - 47 = $13
