Answer 1

Answer: Partners #1-9 get $47,500 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to calculate the amount received by partner #10, by multiplying the total profit by the percentage in decimal form (5%)

Mathematically speaking:

450,000x (5/100) = $22,500

So, the profit left is:

450,000-22,500 = $427,500

Finally we divide the result by the number of partners left (9)

427,500 /9 = $47,500

Partners #1-9 get $47,500 each.
