Answer 1

Two partners invested a total of 45,000 dollars and one of the partners, John invested 4/9 of the amount which 45000. That means John's own contribution is four-ninths of the total amount and that can be derived as follows;

John = 4/9 * 45000

John = (4 * 45000)/9

John = 180000/9

John = 20000

John's investment therefore is $20,000
