Huma, Hubna and Seema received a total of Rs. 2,016 as monthly allowance from their mother such that Seema gets 1/2 of what Huma gets and Hubna gets 1 2/3 times Seema’s share. How much money do the three sisters get individually?

Solution:

Given total monthly allowance is Rs.2016

Let Huma's share be x

Let Seema's share be x/2

Applying our knowledge on fractions, we compute as follows.

Then Hubna's share would be

1 2/3 × (x/2) = 5x/6

Now, total share x + x/2 + 5x/6 = 2016

2x/2 + x/2 + 5x/6 = 2016

14x/6 = 2016:

14x = 2016 × 6 = 12,096

x = 864

Thus , Huma gets Rs. 864.

Seema gets Rs.432

Hubna gets Rs.720
