Answer 1

Answer:

75000 x 3 = 225000

total = 75000+ 225000

= 3,00,000.

Answer 2

Answer:

The total cost of the business = 187500.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume the total cost of business = x.

Two men A and B shared the cost in ratio of 2:3.

A's share is smaller and B's share is larger.

• A shares 2 portion out of (2 + 3 )= 5 portion.

       So out of 'x' portion A's share will be = $\frac{2x}{5}$

       B shares 3 portion out of 5 portion. B's share out of 'x' = $\frac{3x}{5}$

      As it is given that smaller share = 75000 and A's share is smaller.

      Then we can write,  $\frac{2x}{5}$ = 75000

                                      2x = 375000

                                       x = 187500

         ∴ The total cost of the business = 187500.00
