A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 4 % of the total profit goes to charity and A's
share is Rs. 282 , the total profit is:

• let total profit=x
  B's share=282*(2/3)=188
  profit of charity=x/25
  then
  x=x/25+188+282
  =>x=489.58

• ratio = 3:2
  100-4 = 96%
  so a got 57.6% of profit
  so total profit= 100*282/57.6
  489.583

• say,total profit is x.now a's share x * (06/100) *(3/5)= 282 =>x=489.58
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
• let total profit=x
  for charity=x*(4/100)=x/25
  remaining profit=x-(x/25)=(24*x)/25
  {(24*x)/25}*(3/5)=282
  =>x=489.58
  total profit=Rs.489.58

• in previous solution there was a mistake that was 96 not 06 a's share is x*(96/100)*(3/5)=282=>x=489.58

• A's share is =3/5*(96x/100)=282{given where x= total profit}
  =>282*100*5/96*3
  =>~490

• 489.58
  say total proft is x
  x*96/100*(3/5)=282

• remember fomula the ratio of money invested of a & b=ratio of pofit of a & B
  LET US ASSUME PROFIT =X
  AFTER CHARITY TOTAL PROFIT =x-4X/100=96X/100
  A"S SHARE =282
  3/2=282/96X/100-282
  CALCULATE X= 489.58

• 100% is total profit. 4% is charity. so remaining 96% is shared between A & B in the ratio 3:2. So A's share will be as follows
  (.96 total profit/ 5)* 3=282
  thn total profit= 489.583
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• let total share after charity is x
  A's share=3/5*x=282 which gives x=470
  so,total shares=470*104/100=488.8

• 490 approx

• (3/5)*x=282
  x=470

• A share is 282 then share of B will be 144.
  total share of A and B =470
  let total profit is x.
  x=470*100/96=489.5833

• Since amt off charity=4P/100 P=Profit
  so,amt to be shared among A and B=P-4P/100=96P/100
  A's share=3/3+2 * 96P/100=282(given)
  so,P=489.58
