Tres hombres forman una sociedad y se ponen de acuerdo para repartir las ganancias en partes iguales x invierte $3500 y Y invier

Arlecino [84]

For this case, the total amount invested is:
investment = 3500 + 1000 = 4500
We must take out the percentage of what X invested.
X investment = (3500/4500) * 100 = 77.78%.
Therefore, X gets 77.78% of the profits:
X profit = 0.7778 * 3000 = 2333.33 $
answer
if the profits are distributed in proportion to the amount invested X receives 2333.33 $
