Answer 2

Answer:

The total profit is Rs.5000.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Raj and Ali invest in a business in the ratio 3:2. They give away 20% of their profit to charity and share the remaining profit in the same ratio as their investment. If Raj gets Rs. 2400.

To find : What is the total profit?

Solution :

Raj and Ali invest in a business in the ratio 3:2.

Let the total profit made by Raj and Ali be 'x'.

They give away 20% of their profit to charity and share the remaining profit in the same ratio as their investment.

Remaining profit = 80%

The Raj's share of profit is given by,

$P=\frac{80}{100}\times \frac{3}{5}x$

If Raj gets Rs. 2400.

i.e. $2400=\frac{80}{100}\times \frac{3}{5}x$

$x=\frac{2400\times 5\times 100}{80\times 3}$

$x=5000$

Therefore, The total profit is Rs.5000.
