Question

A and b invests in a business in the ratio of 3 : 2. if 5% of the total profit goes to charity and a's share is rs. 855, then total profit is:

Answer 1

Let the total profit be Rs. 100.

5% of the total profit goes to charity

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. ANS

Answer 2

Answer:

A and b invests in a business inside the ratio of three to two and if five percent of the entire profit goes to charity and A's proportion is Rupees. 855, then overall profit is calculated below:

Assume that total profit will be Rs. 100.

After paying to charity, A's share = Rs. (95*3/5) = Rs. 57.

If A's share is Rs. 57 then the total profit will be Rs. 100.

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

So the final and total profit will be 1500 Rupees.
