Question:-

Soham and Abhishek invested 2100 and 2800 and started a business. They made a profit of 20%. What is Soham's share in this profit?

Answer:-

Given:

• Soham's investment = ₹ 2100
• Abhishek's invistment = ₹ 2800
• Profit they made = 20 %

Solution:

$Sum\:of\:their\:investments\\ = 2100 + 2800\\= ₹ 4900 \\ \\ Soham's\:investment\:in\:\% \\ = \frac{2100}{4900} \times{100} \\ = 42.85\% \\ \\ Profit\:they\:made = 20\%\: of\:4900 \\ = \frac{20}{100} \times{4900}\\= ₹ 980$

Thus, Soham's share in profit:

$=42.85\% of 980 \\ =\frac{42.85}{100} \times {980} \\ =₹\:419.93$
