Answer 1

(16).

Let the total profit be x.

According to the given question,

⇒ 75% of x = 85071

⇒ (75/100) * x = 85071

⇒ 75x = 8507100

⇒ x = 113428.

Therefore, Total profit of the company = 113428.

(17).

Let the amount of money = 'x'.

Given that he left 25% of money to his mother = 25% of x.

Given that he left 55% of money to his daughter = 55% of x.

Given that share of brother = 9000.

⇒ x = 25% of x + 55% of x + 9000

⇒ x = (25x/100) + (55x/100) + 9000

⇒ x = (x/4) + (11x/20) + 9000

⇒ x - x/4 - 11x/20 = 9000

⇒ 4x/20 = 9000

⇒ 4x = 180000

⇒ x = 45000.

Therefore:

⇒ Share of mother = 25% of 45000

                                = (25/100) * 45000

                                = 11250.

⇒ Share of daughter = 55% of 45000

                                   = (55/100) * 45000

                                   = 24750.

Hope it helps!
