Detailed Solution

Total amount = 1500

A=13(B+C)3A=B+C3AC=B

B=23(A+C)                     3(5C7)=B+C

3AC=23(A+C)                    15C7=B+C

9A3C=2A+2C                  15C7C=B

7A=5C                                        8C7=B

A=5C7  

A + B + C = 1500

5C7+8C7+C=1500

5C+8C+7C=1500×7

C=1500×720

C = 525
