Question 1st:

Alka and Swetha invested $1800 and $2400 (or rupees what u like), respectively in a small business. They made a profit of $1400. They decided to divide the profit between them in the ratio of their investments. How much did each get as a profit?

ᴀɴsᴡᴇʀ:

• ratio of 1800 : 2400 = 3 : 4

• return ration = 3x : 4x

• 3x+4x = 1400
• 7x = 1400
• x = 200

so they receive 600 and 800 respectively.
