Question

Prabu, hari and riya started a business in partnership by investing rs.38500, rs.49500 and x respectively. At the end of the year they earned a total profit of rs.101500 and riya's share in the profit is 45500 find x ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 71500

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the accumulation of these profits for one year which is 12 months.

In 12 months we have :

12 × 38500 = 462000

12 × 49500 = 594000

12 × x = 12x

We can obtain the ratios as follows :

462000 : 594000 : 12x

If the profit of Riya was 45500 and the total profit was 101500

Let the fraction of Riya's profit be y then we can get the fraction as follows :

y × 101500 = 45500

y = 45500/101500

y = 13/29

The ratio of Prabu's to Hari's contribution is :

462000/59400 = 7 : 9

7 : 9 : y = 7 : 9 : 13

7 = 38500

13 =?

13/7 × 38500 = 71500

Riya's contribution is thus Rs 71500
