Let's denote the total amount of money they divided as "M."
According to the given information:
- Raj received 25% of it, which is 0.25M.
- Ishaq received 1/5 of it, which is (1/5)M.
- Jerry received the remaining Tk. 660.
We can set up an equation based on this information:
0.25M + (1/5)M + 660 = M
Now, let's solve for M:
Combine like terms on the left side:
(0.25M + 0.2M) + 660 = M
(0.45M) + 660 = M
Now, isolate M on one side of the equation:
0.45M = M - 660
Subtract M from both sides:
0.45M - M = -660
-0.55M = -660
Now, divide both sides by -0.55 to find the value of M:
M = -660 / -0.55 M = 1200
So, the total amount of money they divided (M) is Tk. 1200.
Now, we need to find how much money Ishaq received, which is (1/5) of M:
Ishaq's share = (1/5) * 1200 Ishaq's share = 240
Ishaq received Tk. 240.
