as praksēpaka, give out the proportionate distribution of the flowers.
861. (A sum of) 480 was divided among five mon in the proportion of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 ; 0 friend, give ont (the sbare of each).
Che rule for arriving at certain) results in required proportions :
87!. The number representing tho) rate-price is divided by (the number representing) the thing purchasable thorewith ; (it) is (then) multiplied by the (given) proportional number; by means of this, (we got at) the sum of the proportionate parts, (through) the procese of addition. Then the given amount multiplied by
tho (respective) proportionate parts and then divided by this om of) the proportionate parts gives rime to the value (of the various things in the required proportion).
Another rule for this (name) purpose :-
881. Multipls the numbers representing the rute-priocs (respectively) by the numbers representing the (given) proportions of the (various) things to be purchased); theu divide (the result) by the respective numbers measuring the things purchasable for the rate-price ; the resulting quantities bappeu to be tho (reynisite) multipliers in the operation of pralinipaka. The intelligent man may (then) give out the required Answer by adopting the rule-of-three.
Agaiu a rule for this (same) purpose :
891. The numbers representing the various) ralr-prices are respectively divided by their own related (numbers representing the) things purchasable therefor and are (then) multiplied by their related proportional numbers. With the help of these, the remainder (of the operation should be carriol ont) in before.
$7to 89. Tu working the example in tanzA 90 and 1 ceording to those rules 3, 3 and 5 are divided by 8.5 and 7 respectively and are similarly multi. plied hy 6,3 and 1. Thus we have 6, 3, 14, . These arv the proportional part. The roles in tanzas y nod ng; require thereafter the operation of praki pu to be applied in relation to tbree proportional parts ;) but the rulo in tanza 871 expressly describes this operation.
