Question

7) A profit of 7200 is to be shared among
the persons in the ratio 5:6:7. How much
does each person get?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 person = 5x

2 person = 6x

3 person = 7x

5x+6x+7x = 7200

18x = 7200

x = 7200/18

x = 400

1 person = 5x = 5 X 400 = 2000

2 person = 6x = 6 X 400 = 2400

3 person = 7x = 7 X 400 = 2800
