Question

. A and B started a business with a capital of Rs. 29X and Rs.82000 . if A gets 20% profit in salary & share of A is more thanB. Had the entire profit being divided in the ratio they invested , B would have received Rs.5200 more than A’s share. If the earning of A & B are Rs. 16800 and Rs.11,200. Find X ?

Answer 1

Answer:

2658.73

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of the profit = 16800

The total profit from their investment is therefore:

100/20 × 16800 = 84000

If the profit was divided in the ratio of their share in investment then:

The ratio is as follows:

A : B = 29x : 82000

The share of A will be :

29x/(29x + 82000)  ×  84000 = {84000(29x)} / (29x + 82000)

The share of B will be:

82000/(29x + 82000) × 84000 = (84000 × 82000) / (29x + 82000)

To make it easier we divide it by 1000.

(84 × 82)/(0.029x + 82) - (84 × 0.029x)/(0.029x + 82) =

(6888 - 2.436x) / (0.029x + 82) = 5200/1000

6888 - 2.436x = 5.2(0.029x + 2)

6888 - 2.436x = 0.1508x +  10.4

6888 - 10.4 = 2.436x  +  0.1508x

6877.6 = 2.5868x

x = 6877.6/2.5868

x = 2658.73
