    Solution

    ATQ, Ratio of profit received by тАШPтАЩ and тАШQтАЩ = {5000 ├Ч (y + 3)}:{6500 ├Ч (y - 1)} = (8400 тАУ 3200)/3200 Or, (5000y + 15000):(6500y - 6500) = 5200/3200 Or, (25y + 75)/(32.5y - 32.5) = 13/8 Or, 200y + 600 = 260y - 260 Or, 860 = 60y Or, y = 860/60 = 14.33 (approximately 14)
