3x,2x
A,share is RS 855
3x=855
x=855/3=285
then
x=285
B, share is 2*285=570
Total profits =855+285=1425

Answer 2

Let the total 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 = Rs. 100.

If A's share is Rs. 855, total profit = (100/57*855) = 1500.
