Find

what is the profit each of them got

Solution

Invertment = $ 1,44,000 profit 20%

$</p><p>∴ profit \: = \frac{20}{100} \times 1,44,000$

The profit to be shared in ratio 4:5

$let \: the \: profit \: of \: suresh \: be \: 4x \: and \: ramesh \: 5x$

$4x + 5x = 28800$

$</p><p>∴ \: 9 \: x = 28800 \\ </p><p>∴ x \: = \frac{28800}{9}$

$</p><p>∴ x = 3200$

$4 \: x = 4 \times 3200 = 12800 \\ 5 \: x = 5 \times 3200 = 1600$
