Answer:

58.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

A's Contribution = 2700

B's Contribution= 1800

Ratio = 7:5

Profit = 900

Total Ratio = 7+5 = 12

First , Calculate both share of the profit.

A's Share= 7/12 ×900

525

B's share= 5/12 ×900

375

Now , express A's Share as a percentage

A's Share= 525/900 ×100

58.33%
