Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Riya, Bhavya, and Chaitra share a bag of peas in the 4 : 3 : 8 ratio. If Chaitra gives \$1/4\$ of her share to Bhavya, Bhavya will have 14 more peas than Riya. How many peas are there altogether?

2

Hint

Given the equation each ratio is considered as 'x' and the total value is 'y'

3

Step

The total value of peas is equal to the sum of ratios

4x + 3x+ 8x = y

4

Step

So, Bhavya’s share is 3x + 2x = 5x

5

Step

After addition, share we get

4x + 5x + 6x = y

6

Step

After receiving 2x, Bhavya now has 5x peas. Bhavya has 14 more peas than Riya; that is : 5x - 4x = 14

7

Step

After simplifying, we get

x = 14

8

Step

Substitute the x value in the y equation, then simplify

4(14) + 3(14) + 8(14) = y

56 + 42 + 112 = y

210 = y

9

Step

The total value of peas alltogether is

210
