let the profit be Rs 100
after paying to charity A's share = ( 95 × 3/5) = Rs 57
if A's share is Rs 57 , total profit = 100
if A's share is Rs 885 , total profit = ( 100 /57×855)= 1500
after paying to charity A's share = ( 95 × 3/5) = Rs 57
if A's share is Rs 57 , total profit = 100
if A's share is Rs 885 , total profit = ( 100 /57×855)= 1500

Shares of A and B in profit also are in the ratio 3 : 2
Let the total profit be Rs P.
Remaining profit after donation to Charity : Rs (95% P) = 0.95 P
Share of A in remaining profit : (0.95 P) * 3 / (3+ 2)
= 0.57 P = Rs 855
Hence P = Rs 855 / 0.57 = Rs 1500
Let the total profit be Rs P.
Remaining profit after donation to Charity : Rs (95% P) = 0.95 P
Share of A in remaining profit : (0.95 P) * 3 / (3+ 2)
= 0.57 P = Rs 855
Hence P = Rs 855 / 0.57 = Rs 1500
