Tom, Dick and Harry went for lunch to a multi-cuisine restaurant. Tom had $100 with him, Dick had $60 and Harry had $409. Tom preferred continental, While Harry chosen Chinese. Dick opted to mughlai cuisine. Continental and Chinese types of items tasted good than that of mughlai. Despite, variations in ordering, they called for a single bill. They got a bill for $104 and decided to give a tip of $16. They further decided to share the total expenses in the ratio of the amounts of money each carried. The amount of money which Tom paid more than what Harry paid is

• ans is 36 itself when the ratios are 100:60:40
  so harry had $40 then amount paid by tom is (100/200)*120=60
  amount paid by harry is (40/200)*120=24
  so 60-24=36

• Just consider the ratio of money taken out by all three of them i.e
  100:60:409 ,now as per the question the amount paid by tom more than harry so==409-100=309
  now by ratio's concept 309/569*120 {120 is total money been spent}=65.16

• 
  100X + 60X + 409X = 120(Bill + tip)
  so X = 0.2(appro.)
  now The amount of money which Tom paid more than what Harry paid is (409*.21-100*.21)=65.16

• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
• Their ratio : 100:60:409
  
  HEnce 100X + 60X + 409X = 120(Bill + tip)
  so X = 0.2(appro.)
  Harry pays = > 409 * 0.2 = 82(appro.)....:)

• Tom:Dick:Harry => 100:60:40 => 5:3:2 The total bill was for 104+16 = $120
  
  We can write this as: 5x + 3x + 2x = 120 => 10x = 120 => x = 12 So we can now find out how much each person contributed towards the final total bill. So Tom paid: 5 * 12 = 60 Dick paid 3 & 12 = 36 Harry paid 2 * 12 = 24
  
  Therefore Tom paid (60−24)=36 more than Harry.
