Question

A and B shared a profit of 24500 rupees
in the proportion 3:7. Each of them gave
2% of his share of the profit to the
Soldiers' Welfare Fund. What was the
actual amount given to the Fund by each
of them?​

Answer 1

Answer:

24500 in 3:7 will be

24500 * 3/10 = 7350

24500 * 7/10 = 17150

2% of 7350 = 147

2% of 17150 = 343

Total Amount Of Fund = ₹ 490

Answer 2

A gave 147 rupees and B gave 343 rupees in the Soldier's Welfare Fund.

• A and B shared a profit of 24500 rupees in the proportion 3:7.
• Let the common multiple be x.
• Therefore, A shared a profit of 3x and B shared a profit of 7x.
• Total profit = A's profit + B's profit = 3x+7x = 10x

24500 = 10x

x = 2450 Rs.

• Now A's profit is 3x = 3 × 2450 = 7350 rupees and B's profit will be 7x = 7 × 2450 = 17150 rupees.
• Now, they gave 2% of their share of profit to the Soldier's Welfare Fund. We have to calculate the actual amount given by them in the Soldier's Welfare Fund.
• 2% of A's profit share is 0.02 × A's profit share = 0.02 × 7350 = 147 rupees.

• 2% of B's profit share is 0.02 × B's profit share = 0.02 × 17150 = 343 rupees.

• A deposited 147 rupees and B deposited 343 rupees in the Soldier's Welfare Fund.
