Question

3 people invest in a business in the ratio 2:3:5.if the profit from the business is $450 000.how much does each person get?​

Answer 1

$90,000;$135,000;$225,000

Explanation:

In this question we have to find the share of each person

First we have to find the sum of all the ratios,

`2 + 3 + 5 \\ = 10`

Then we have to represent their share as a fraction and then multiply it by the total value,

The share of first person:-

`(2)/(10) * 450000 \\ = 2 * 45000 \\ = 90000`

So the first person share is $90,000

The share of second person:-

`(3)/(10) * 450000 \\ = 3 * 45000 \\ = 135000`

So the second person share is $135,000

The share of third person:-

`= 450000 - (135000 + 90000) \\ = 450000 - 225000 \\ = 225000`

So the third person share is $225,000

(This is your answer hope it helps :))
