Answer:
Let total profit=100
After paying charity, A’s share=(100-10)x5/9=50
If A’s share=50, total profit=100
If A’s share=7500, total profit=100/50 x7500=15000

Given: A and B invest in a business in the ratio 5:6, 10% of the profit goes to charity and A gets Rs. 4500.
To find: The total profit
Solution:
- Let the total profit be equal to x.
- If A and B invest in the ratio 5:6 then, we can find B's share using the following calculations.
- We first divide A's share by his ratio, that is, 5 in order to get a number in proportion.
- Now, we multiply the obtained number by B's ratio in order to find B's share.
- So, the total profit will be the sum of A's total share, B's total share and 10% of the the total profit.
Therefore, the total profit is Rs. 11000.
