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:

Rs.13500 are to be distributed among Salma, Kiran and Jenifer.

Salma gets Rs.1000 more than Kiran

Jenifer gets Rs.500 more than Kiran

We have to find the money received by Jenifer.

Let the money received by Kiran be x

Money received by Salma = Rs.1000 + x

Money received by Jenifer = Rs.500 + x

According to the question,

Amount received by Salma + Kiran + Jenifer = Rs.13500

1000 + x + x + 500 + x = 13500

1500 + 3x = 13500

By transposing,

3x = 13500 - 1500

3x = 12000

x = 12000/3

x = 4000

Now, 500 + x = 500 + 4000 = 4500

Therefore, the money received by Jenifer is Rs.4500
