Question

Johnny and azeez divide their profit in the ratio of 7:9 .Azeez got 4878 as his profit what would Johnny get?

Answer 1

Johnny would get Rs 3794 as profit

Given, Johnny and Azeez divided their profits in the ratio 7:9

Let us considered the profit received by Johnny to be x, and we know that Azeez got Rs 4878 as profit.

So, the ratio of profits of Johnny to Azeez = x/4878

We know that this ratio is equal  to 7:9 according to the question.

So, x/4878 = 7/9

⇒ 9x = (7*4878)

⇒ x = (4878*7/9)

= 3794

3794 is the required answer.
