A particular amount of cash was distributed in the ratio of 3: 7. If the smallest share was rupees 2,100, what was the total amount of cash which was distributed ?
Given :
The amount was distributed in the ratio of 3 : 7.
The smallest share is 2100.
To find :
We have to find the total amount.
Solution :
Let the shares of amount be 3x and 7x.
The smallest share,
$3 x = 2100$
$x = \frac{2100}{3}$
$x = 700$
The total amount distributed $= 3 x + 7 x = 10 x$
$ 10 x = 10 (700) = 7000$
The total amount distributed is 7000.
