Three men took part in a business. They put in 2000 naira, 4000 naira and 1500 naira as capital. The profit made was divided among them in the same proportion as the amounts put in. If the profit was 300 naira, how much did each man get?

Answer:

a. Profit A = 80 Naira.

b. Profit B = 160 Naira.

c. Profit C = 60 Naira.

Explanation:

Let the three men be A, B and C.

Given the following data;

A = 2000 Naira.

B = 4000 Naira.

C = 1500 Naira.

Profit = 300 Naira

The ratio of the capital invested by each men is;

Ratio = A: B : C

Ratio = 2000 : 4000 : 1500

Dividing all through by 500;

$Ratio = \frac {2000}{500} : \frac {4000}{500} : \frac {1500}{500}$

Ratio = 4 : 8 : 3

Total ratio = 4 + 8 + 3 = 15

a. To find the amount of profit earned by A;

$Profit \; A = \frac {4}{15} * 300$

$Profit \; A = \frac {1200}{15}$

Profit A = 80 Naira.

b. Profit earned by B;

$Profit \; B = \frac {8}{15} * 300$

$Profit \; B = \frac {2400}{15}$

Profit B = 160 Naira. 

c. Profit earned by C;

$Profit \; C = \frac {3}{15} * 300$

$Profit \; C = \frac {900}{15}$

Profit C = 60 Naira.

Therefore, each of the men would get 80 Naira, 160 Naira and 60 Naira respectively.

¿Cual es la diferencia entre lenguaje denotativo y texto poético?

Reika [66]

Answer:

Existe una sustancial diferencia entre el lenguaje denotativo y el lenguaje utilizado en un texto poético.

El lenguaje denotativo implica un relato directo, explicito y claro de una situación, evento o persona, es decir, es una descripción sin rodeos ni figuraciones, utilizando un lenguaje que describe de forma realista y clara lo que se está diciendo.

En cambio, el lenguaje utilizado en un texto poético carece de estas características, siendo un idioma mucho mas figurado, adornado con componentes artísticos que, si bien dan al texto una mayor belleza visual y causan deleite en el lector, no son útiles a los fines prácticos, ya que incluso pueden llegar a confundir el mensaje que se quiere dar.
