£70 is divided between natasha, richard & stephen so that natasha gets twice as much as richard, and richard gets three times as much as stephen. how much does natasha get?

The share of Natasha is £ 42

Solution:

£70 is divided between Natasha, Richard & Stephen

Total amount = 70

Let the share of natasha be "x"

Let the share of richard be "y"

Let the share of stephen be "z"

Natasha gets twice as much as Richard

x = 2y ------ eqn 1

Richard gets three times as much as Stephen

y = 3z

----- eqn 2

Total amount = 70

share of natasha + share of richard + share of stephen = 70

x + y + z = 70

Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 2

Substitute y = 21 in eqn 1

x = 2y = 2(21) = 42

x = 42

Thus natasha gets £ 42

$35.59 in pounds
