Question

Three friends start a business and decide to split the profits equally. Jim invests $2,000, Mary invests $3,000, and Sally invests $5,000. If the profits are $3,000, how much of the profits would Sally receive if the profits were divided proportional to how much each friend invested?

Answer 1

• $1500

Explanation:

Sally's share is half of the investment

• 5000 = 1/2(2000 + 3000 + 5000)

Sally will get half of the profit according to investment

• 3000*1/2 = 1500
