Question 827170: If 3 boys shared y mangoes among themselves in ratio x:2x:3x and the largest share was 45. Find the value of y Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y = x + 2x + 3x
3x = 45
divide by 3
x = 15
Substituting in the first equation
y = 15 + 2(15) + 3(15)
y = 15 + 30 + 45
y = 90
