Who can help my neighbor's son with this?



A sum of 560 was shared between Joy and Great such that joy got 40 less than twice of Great. What percentage of the original sum did Joy get ?

Any attempt would be appreciated.

Let's assume that Great's share is X

If Joy gets 40 less twice of Great's share, then Great's share is: 2X - 40

The total sum shared = 560

Thus: X + (2X - 40) = 560

X + 2X - 40 = 560

3X - 40 = 560

3X = 560 + 40

3X = 600

X = 200

So Great's share is X i.e 200 and
Joy's share is 2X - 40: = 2(200) - 40
= 400 - 40
= 360

Thus it can be seen that Joy's share is 40 less of 400 (twice of Great's share: 2 X 200) and the sum of Great's share (200) and Joy's share (360) gives 560.

Percentage of Joy's share is:
= 360/560 X 100
= 64.29%

This is correct.
I got same too.
