Question
The contributions made by A and B are in the ratio of 4:5. If 10% of total profit is donated and A gets 8200 as his share of profit, what is the total profit?
Solution
Let the total profit = x
The ratio of contribution by A and B = 4:5
Sum of ratios = 9
Share of A = (4/9) × x = 8200
x= (8200 × 9)/4
Total profit: x= 18450
A gets 8200 after 10% donated
Now, 90% = 18450
1% = 18450/ 90
And, 100% = (18450/90) × 100 = 20500
