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

3x+7x=24500
10x=24500
x=24500/10
x=2450

Share of A= 3x
=3×2450
=7350
Share of B= 7x
=7×2450
=17150
Share of Profit of A given= 2% of 7350
= 2/100×7350
=1470/10
=147
Share of profit of A given= 2% of 17150
=2/100×17150
=343

Answer 2

Answer:

147 and 343

Step-by-step explanation:

proportion of capital as well as their profit = 3:7

So profit = 3x + 7x = 24500

10x = 24500

x = 24500/10

x = 2450

profit = 3x = 3 × 2450 = 7350

= 7x = 7 × 2450 = 17;150

so share of profit is 20%

Hence A = 7350×2/100

= 1470/10

=147

13= 17150×2/100

= 3430/10

= 343

The total answer is 147 and 343.
