new profit-sharing ratio ?
​

Answer 1

Answer  6:2:2

Old ratio (A : B) = 7 : 3

Sacrificing ratio = Old ratio * suurender share

A's sacrificing ratio = (7/10) * (1/7) = 1/10

B's sacrificing ratio = (3/10) * (1/3) = 1/10

New share = Old share - sacrificing ratio

A's new share = (7/10) - (1/10) = (6/10)

B's new share = (3/10) - (1/10) = (2/10)

C's share = Sacrificing ratio of A and B

Explanation:

6:2:2

Old ratio (A : B) = 7 : 3

Sacrificing ratio = Old ratio * suurender share

A's sacrificing ratio = (7/10) * (1/7) = 1/10

B's sacrificing ratio = (3/10) * (1/3) = 1/10

New share = Old share - sacrificing ratio

A's new share = (7/10) - (1/10) = (6/10)

B's new share = (3/10) - (1/10) = (2/10)

C's share = Sacrificing ratio of A and B
