Question

2.
Priyam, Supriya and Bulu have opened a small shop of grocery shop with capitals og
15000, 10000 and 25000 respectively. But after a year there was a loss of 3000. Let
us write by calculating what each must pay to make up the loss.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total amount invested= 15000+10000+25000

= ₹50000

% of amount invested by Priyam=

$\frac{15000}{50000} \times 100 = 30 \%$

% of amount invested by Supriya=

$\frac{10000}{50000} \times 100 = 20\%$

% of amount invested by Billu=

$\frac{25000}{50000} \times 100 = 50\%$

Percentage of investment by each should be equal to bearing of percentage of loss by each

So, Priyam will bear 30% of loss ie 30% of 3000 =900

Supriya will bear 20% of loss ie 20% of 3000 =600

Billu will bear 50% of loss ie 50% of 3000 =1500
