Question

3 people invest in a business in the ratio 2:3:5.if the profit from the business is $450 000.how much does each person get?​

Answer 1

Each person gets 45,000

Answer 2

Answer:

$90,000;$135,000;$225,000

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have to find the share of each person

First we have to find the sum of all the ratios,

$2 + 3 + 5 \\ = 10$

Then we have to represent their share as a fraction and then multiply it by the total value,

The share of first person:-

$\frac{2}{10} \times 450000 \\ = 2 \times 45000 \\ = 90000$

So the first person share is $90,000

The share of second person:-

$\frac{3}{10} \times 450000 \\ = 3 \times 45000 \\ = 135000$

So the second person share is $135,000

The share of third person:-

$= 450000 - (135000 + 90000) \\ = 450000 - 225000 \\ = 225000$

So the third person share is $225,000
