You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x that amount of money then A will give to B
after this A will have Rs.%2880-x%29 and B will have Rs %2840%2Bx%29
B's money becomes twice the money that is left with A, so %2840%2Bx%29=2%2A%2880-x%29
.
%2840%2Bx%29=2%2A%2880-x%29
40%2Bx=160-2x
x%2B2x=160-40
3x=120
x=120%2F3
x=40
A must give to B Rs.40
