Answer:
(a) A : B = $9000 : $6000
(b) $1260
(c) A : S : J = $1050 : $2250 : $1200 = 7 : 15 : 8
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The investment ratio is ...
Angela : Barbara = 24000 : 16000 = 3 : 2
The profit of 15,000 goes 3/(3+2) = 3/5 to Angela, and 2/5 to Barbara:
Angela's share: (3/5)($15,000) = $9,000
Barbara's share: (2/5)($15,000) = $6,000
__
(b) We can multiply the ratio by $140 to see the larger amount:
4 : 9 = ($140)(4) : ($140)(9) = $560 : $1260
The larger share is $1260.
__
(c) Sian gets (1/2)($4500) = $2250. Anesha gets $1050. So Joanne gets ...
$2250 -1050 = $1200
Then the shares are ...
i. Sian: $2250
ii. Joanne: $1200
iii. Ratios: A : S : J = 105 : 225 : 120 = 7 : 15 : 8
