Question
A,B INVESTED 40%,35%AND 25% RESPECTIVELY IN A BUSINESS.AFTER ONE YEAR THERE WAS A PROFIT OF RS.29400.FIND SHARE OF EACH ONE.

Answer
Tahira,

Should there be three parties involved in this investment?
Since the ownership ratios are 0.4 : 0.35 : 0.25, the profit should be distributed to A, B and C as follows:

A gets 0.4 x 29400
B gets 0.35 x 29400
C gets 0.25 x 29400

Note: The ratios (0.4, 0.35, 0.25) should all add up to 1 (think of "1" as representing 100% of Rs 29400)

Expertise

When I work through problems, I like to emphasize concepts which I believe are worth noting. I will try to answer questions in the following areas, but not at the advanced level. Algebra. Sequences & Series. Trigonometry. Functions & Graphs. Coordinate Geometry. Quadratic Polynomials. Exponential & Logarithms. Basic Calculus. Probability, Permutation and Combination. Mathematical Induction. Complex numbers. Physics problems.

Experience

I have worked as a teaching assistant in college. My hope is that more people will share knowledge without boundary, give help without seeking recognition or monetary rewards.
