Question

sweta,piyush and nachiket together invested 80000 rupees and started a business of selling sheet and towels from solapur.Sweta's share of the capital was 30000 ruppees and Piyush's 12000.At the end of the year they had made a profit of 24%.What was nachiket's investment and what was his share of the profit

Answer 1

30,000+12,000=42,000
80,000 - 42,000= 38,000
this is the nachiket 's investments
divide 24% into 3 = 8%
then add 8% of 38,000 to itself
= 41,040
this is the share of the profit

Answer 2

Answer:

Nachiket’s investment and his share of the profit are ​38000 and 9120 rupees respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total investment = Rs.80000

Shweta’s investment= Rs. 30000

Piyush’s investment = Rs.12000

Nachiket’s investement = Total investment − (Shweta’s investment + Piyush’s investment)

                                         = 80000 − (30000 + 12000)

                                          = 80000 − 42000

                                          = 38000 rupees

So, The ratio of Shweta's, Piyush's and Nachiket's investment is given by

=30000:12000:38000

= 15:6:19

Now we are given that they made a profit of 24%

Now, Profit =$\frac{24}{100} \times (80000)$

                    = 19200 rupees

Nachiket’s share of the profit :

= $\frac{19}{15+6+19}\times19200$

= $\frac{19}{40}\times19200$

= 9120 rupees

Hence, Nachiket’s investment and his share of the profit are ​38000 and 9120 rupees respectively.
