Question

A and B started business with capital of 4000 and 6000 respectively and made a profit of 1500 at the end of the month. find the share of each?

Answer 1

percentage of share that A had

$\frac{4000}{10000} \times 100\% \\ = \frac{2}{5} \times 100\% \\ = 40\%$

So percentage of share that B had = 60%

if the profit is 1500 A will be get 40% of it and B will get 60% of it respectively

$\frac{40}{100} \times 1500 \\ = 600$

A will get 600 rupees and B will get (1500-600 )

900
