Three friends Alice, Bond and Charlie divide $1105 amongst them in such a way that if $10, $20 and $15 are removed from the sums that Alice, Bond and Charlie received respectively, then the share of the sums that they got will be in the ratio of 11 : 18 : 24. How much did Charlie receive? a) $495 b) $510 c) $480 d) $375 e) $360

Last answer: Answer: A Let the sums of money received by A, B and C be x, y and z respectively. Then x - 10 : y - 20 : z -15 is 11a : 18a : 24a When $10, $20 and $15 are removed, we are removing a total of $45 from ... or a= 20 We know that z - 15 = 24a = (24 * 20) = 480 Therefore, z = 480 + 15 = $495
