Velma, Winnie, and Zoe want to rent a 3 bedroom apartment. Velma wants the corner bedroom, so she will pay 25% more of the rent than Winnie will. Zoe wants the biggest bedroom and agrees to pay 50% more than Winnie. What share of the rent will each woman pay

Respuesta :

Answer:

Velma's share = 26.7%

Winnie's share = 33.3%

Zoe's share = 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Velma's share be v.

Let Winnie's share be w.

Let Zoe's share be z.

Velma pays 25% more of Winnie's share

v = w + 25% of w = 125% of w = 1.25w

Zoe pays 50% more of Winnie's share

v = w + 50% of w = 150% of w = 1.5w

Total rent = w + 1.25w + 1.5w = 3.75w

Velma's share = [tex]\dfrac{w}{3.75w}\times100\% = 26.7\%[/tex]

Winnie's share = [tex]\dfrac{1.25w}{3.75w}\times100\% = 33.3\%[/tex]

Zoe's share = [tex]\dfrac{1.5w}{3.75w}\times100\% = 40\%[/tex]

The share of the rent of the each women are,

      Velma share is, 33.34%

      Winnie share is , 26.7%

      Zoe share is , 40%

Since, Velma  will pay 25% more of the rent than Winnie will.

Let,    Winnie pay = 100

Then, Velma will pay = 125

Since, Zoe wants the biggest bedroom and agrees to pay 50% more than Winnie.

So,  Zoe will pay = 150

Total rent = 100 + 125 +150 = 375

Velma share is, = 125/375 = 0.333=33.34%

Winnie share is, = 100/375 = 0.267 = 26.7%

Zoe share is, = 150/375 = 0.4 = 40 %
