Answer 1

⚡Hey mate⚡

✨Here is your answer✨

Profit =24500

A and B share proportion = 3:5

It means that 3:5 is equal to 24500 rupees

because 24500 rupees is total profit of A and B and 3:5 is ratio of there shares

Then 3 + 5 is equal to 24500

3 + 5 ratio =24500

8 ratio = 24500

1 ratio = 24500 ÷ 8

1 ratio = 3062. 5


If 1 ratio is equal to 3062.5 the share of A is

A share (3 ratio) = 3062.5 × 3

A share = 9187.5

Now share of B is

B share (5 ratio) = 3062.5× 5

B share = 15312.5

A and B gave 2% of his profit

So

2% of A's profit is

2% = 9187.5 × 2 ÷ 100

2% = 183.75

Now 2% of B's profit

2 % = 15312.5 × 2 ÷ 100

2 % = 306.25

Now the actual ammount given to the fund by each of them is

2 % of A's profit + 2 % of B's profit = 183.75 + 306.25

Actual ammount = 490 rupees

Your answer is 490 rupees.
