Question

A and B contributed 2700 and 1800 respectively to start a business. They agreed to share the profit in the ratio 7:5 respectively. If the profit made was 900, Calculate B's share of the profit.​

Answer 1

375

Explanation:

let the ratio constant be 'x'

=>Profit ratio for A=7x

=>Profit ratio for B=5x

Profit=900 (Given)

Sum of the ratios=7x+5x=12x

Therefore,

Profit ratio for A=(7/12)x900=7x75=525

Profit ratio for B=(5/12)x900=7x75=375
