​

Answer 1

Answer:480, 360, 240

Step-by-step explanation:

let capital of c = x

then B= x+2000

then A= x +4000

because, A+B+C=18000

x+ x+ 2000 + x+4000 = 18000

3x =12000

x=4000

C=4000, B=6000  A=8000

A : B : C = 8000*12 : 6000*12 : 4000*12

A: B : C = 4 : 3 : 2

A = 4/9 *1080 =480

B = 3/9 *1080 = 360

C = 2/9 *1080 = 240
