Question

Three partners Dolly,Jolly,Molly invest 21,000, 12,000, 18,000 respectively in a company. How
should they divide a profit of 9,000?

Answer 1

Answer:

Dolly: 3706₹, Jolly: 2118, Molly: 3176

Explanation:

Dolly invested 21000

Jolly invested 12000

Molly invested 18000 which is given.

Now dividing each amount by 3000, we get a ratio of 7:4:6

Now a profit of 9000 is to be divided among the three so we'll divide it in the same ratio as above.

adding the ratios we get 7+4+6 = 17

Dolly will get 7/17 x 9000 = 3705.88₹ ~ 3706₹

Jolly will get 4/17 x 9000 = 2117.64₹ ~ 2118₹

Molly will get 6/17 x 9000 = 3176.47₹ ~ 3176₹
