You can  put this solution on YOUR website! A group bonus is divided among four employees in the ratio of their basic salaries which are in the ratio of 7,4,2 and 5 respectively. 
if a total bonus of Rs 540 is to be divided among them 
 what would each employees receive?  
: 
let x = the multiplier 
then the each bonus would be 7x, 4x, 2x, 5x 
a simple equation 
7x + 4x + 2x + 5x = 540 
18x = 540 
x = 540/18 
x = 30 
the bonus for each 
30(7) = 210 
30(4) = 120 
30(2) = 60 
30(5) = 150 
-------------- 
Total = 540
