Rs. 338 is divided between A and B. so A gets 5/8 of what B gets. What amount does B get?
Answer: Rs. 208
Explanation
Let's say B gets x amount. Then A gets 5/8 of x.
A's amount = (5/8)x
Total amount = A's amount + B's amount
338 = (5/8)x + x
Combine like terms:
338 = (5x + 8x)/8
338 = 13x/8
338 × 8 = 13x
2704 = 13x
x = 208
So B's amount is Rs. 208.
