three boys x y and z share stamps in the ratio 2:3:5.z received 60 more stamps than x. find the total number shared.

  Let stamps shared by them be 2x, 3x and 5x respectively, then 5x -2x=60
  => 3x=60 or x=20
  So total number of stamps shared=2x+3x+5x=10x=10*20=200

  5a-2a=60
  a=20
  2*20+3*20+5*20=200
