Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Let's assume the share of C as x.
  2. According to the problem, B receives 25% less than C. So, B's share = x - 0.25x = 0.75x.
  3. A receives 25% more than B. So, A's share = 0.75x + 0.25*0.75x = 0.9375x.
  4. The total sum of 817 is divided among A, B, and C. So, x + 0.75x + 0.9375x = 817.
  5. Solving the above equation, we get 2.6875x = 817.
  6. Therefore, x = 817 / 2.6875 = 304.

So, C's share is 304.

Now, let's find A's share:

A's share = 0.9375 * 304 = 285.

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