Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to understand the relationships between A, B, and C's shares.

  1. A receives 25% more than B. This means A's share is 1.25B.
  2. B receives 25% less than C. This means B's share is 0.75C.

We know that the total sum of money is 817, so we can write the equation:

A + B + C = 817

Substitute A and B in terms of C into the equation:

1.25B + B + C = 817 2.25B + C = 817

Substitute B in terms of C into the equation:

2.25(0.75C) + C = 817 1.6875C + C = 817 2.6875C = 817

Solve for C:

C = 817 / 2.6875 C = 304

Substitute C back into the equation for B:

B = 0.75 * 304 B = 228

Finally, substitute B back into the equation for A:

A = 1.25 * 228 A = 285

So, A's share in the amount is 285.
