Answer:

option c) $9,090.90

Explanation:

step 1

Find out your percentage of distribution of profits in fraction form

Divide your investment by total investment


(5,000)/(5,000+3,000+3,000)=(5,000)/(11,000)=(5)/(11)

step 2

To find out how much you get, multiply your percentage of distribution by the profits

so


(5)/(11) (20,000)=\$9,090.90
