Let the total profit be Rs. 100.
| After paying to charity, A's share = Rs. |  |
95 x | 3 |  |
= Rs. 57. |
| 5 |
If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.
| If A's share Rs. 855, total profit = | |
100 | x 855 | |
= 1500. |

Let the total profit is - X.
Profit after charity- 19x/20.
Share of A = 19x/20 * 3/5 = 855.
So, X= 1500.
Profit after charity- 19x/20.
Share of A = 19x/20 * 3/5 = 855.
So, X= 1500.

Total profit 100%, and 5% is given to charity.
Total profit% for A & B = 95,
95% money split into to 5 parts (3:2),
95/5 = 19.
Profit % for A = 57%(3*19) | B = 38% (2*19).
x is total amount of profit.
x * 57% = 855,
x = 855/0.57,
x = 1500.
Total profit% for A & B = 95,
95% money split into to 5 parts (3:2),
95/5 = 19.
Profit % for A = 57%(3*19) | B = 38% (2*19).
x is total amount of profit.
x * 57% = 855,
x = 855/0.57,
x = 1500.

95/100A = 855.
A=900,
3x=A.
=> x = 300.
B = 2x.
B = 600.
A + B = 1500.
A=900,
3x=A.
=> x = 300.
B = 2x.
B = 600.
A + B = 1500.

Total profit 1500.
Less 5% = 75.
A share 1425 * 3/5 = 855.
B share 1425 * 2/5 = 570.
Less 5% = 75.
A share 1425 * 3/5 = 855.
B share 1425 * 2/5 = 570.

3:2,
If 3parts 855 then 5 parts ?
5*855/3=1425 and if 95%=1425 then 100%=?
100*1425/95=1500 this is simple method.

Solution:
A:B =3:2
Consider formula I*T =P.
855 = 3/5 * Total profit.
Then Total profit = (855*5)/3.
Total profit = 1425 it consists of only 95 percent.
And 5 percent is donated as a charity.
So 1425/95 = 15.
And we need 100 percentage.
Then 15 is only 1 percent.
We need 100 percent.
So, 100*15= 1500.
A:B =3:2
Consider formula I*T =P.
855 = 3/5 * Total profit.
Then Total profit = (855*5)/3.
Total profit = 1425 it consists of only 95 percent.
And 5 percent is donated as a charity.
So 1425/95 = 15.
And we need 100 percentage.
Then 15 is only 1 percent.
We need 100 percent.
So, 100*15= 1500.

Suppose total profit = X.
The ratio of investment of A and B = 3:2.
A's share = Rs. 855.
In ratio A has 3 units,
So, 855/3 gives the value of one unit.
Therefore, 855/3 = Rs. 285.
The value of one unit = Rs. 285.
Total units we have = 5.
So, the profit they both get after giving 5 percent money to charity = 285 * 5 = Rs. 1425.
Now, according to question,
X - 5% of X = 1425.
X - 5X/100 = 1425.
100X - 5X.
95X = 142500.
X = 142500 = Rs. 1500.
The ratio of investment of A and B = 3:2.
A's share = Rs. 855.
In ratio A has 3 units,
So, 855/3 gives the value of one unit.
Therefore, 855/3 = Rs. 285.
The value of one unit = Rs. 285.
Total units we have = 5.
So, the profit they both get after giving 5 percent money to charity = 285 * 5 = Rs. 1425.
Now, according to question,
X - 5% of X = 1425.
X - 5X/100 = 1425.
100X - 5X.
95X = 142500.
X = 142500 = Rs. 1500.
