Question:
Rs 13500 are to be distributed among Salma, Kiran and Jenifer in such a way that Salma gets Rs 1000 more than Kiran and Jenifer gets Rs
500 more than Kiran. Find the money received by Jenifer.
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,
$x+x+1000+x+500=13500$
$\Rightarrow$ $3 x+1500=13500$
$\Rightarrow$ $3 x=13500-1500$
$\Rightarrow \quad 3 x=12000$
$\Rightarrow$ $x=\frac{12000}{3}$
$\therefore$ $x=4000$
Hence, the money received by Jenifer $=₹ 4000+500=₹ 4500$
