Shobha and Masud together bought a car for 250000 and sold it for 262,500. If Sobha paid 1.5 times more than Masud, let us write by calculating their shares of profit.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Shobha and Masud together bought a car for 250000 and sold it for 262,500. If Sobha paid 1.5 times more than Masud,

Then cost price for Masud

$1.5x + x = 250000 \\ 2.5x = 250000 \\ x = 100000$

Profit = 262500-250000 = 12500

Share of profit for,

Sobha

$= \frac{1.5}{2.5} \times 12500 \\ = 7500$

And for Masud

$\frac{1}{2.5} \times 12500 = 5000$
