Question

Subha and her friend invested in the ratio 5 : 3 in a business. If 4% of the profit is given to charity and subha's share is rs.1,200 then what will be the total profit

Answer 1

Let the total profit be Rs. 100.

After paying to charity, A's share = (95*3/5) = Rs. 57.

If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.

If A's share is Rs. 855, total profit = (100/57*855) = 1500.
