Suppose there is 100 kg of cake, then father's share = 25kg.
So each family member will get 25/3 kg.
Let x be the no.of members.
Therefore,
x(25/3) = 75.
x = 9.
Total members 9+1(father).
So each family member will get 25/3 kg.
Let x be the no.of members.
Therefore,
x(25/3) = 75.
x = 9.
Total members 9+1(father).
