Question

The four partners in a business decide to split the profits of their company in the ratio 2:5:5:7. If the profit of one year is 570000 soms then what is the largest amount of profit received by one of the four partners?

Answer 1

Answer: $210000

Explanation:

2:5:5:7

you add the numbers that are in the ratio

2+5+5+7= 19

Then you divide each four of the profits by the total profit

2/19 x 570000 = $60000

5/19 x 570000 = $150000

7/19 x 570000 = $210000

Therefore the largest amount of profit recieved by one of the four partners is $210000
