ООО
B. profit ratio
C. expenditures

Answer 1

Total persons including Mary=4+1=5

Earnings per person =$30

Total earnings

• 5(30)
• 150$

Option D

Answer 2

`\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨`

Let the total money earned be x

since each of them get equal share, therefore :

`\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:5 * 30 = x`

`\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:x = \$150`

And here, we used Total earning as the variable in the problem ~

So, correct choice is D
