Answer: 42,500

Explanation:

It takes company abc;

6 months = 25,500

10 months = ?

To get the profit value for 10 months, we represent the unknown value with a variable, say Z then cross multiply to get a single equation.

6 months = 25,500

10 months = Z

Z X 6 = 25,500 X 10

Z = 255,000 ÷ 6

Z = 42,500

The profit value in 10 months is 42,500
