Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 parts

Divide the profit by 10 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

$450 000 ÷ 10 = $45 000 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, then

2 parts = 2 × $45 000 = $90 000 ← Lea's share

3 parts = 3 × $45 000 = $135 000 ← Paul's share

5 parts = 5 × $45 000 = $225 000 ← Tynos' share
