A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and A's share is Rs. 855, the total profit is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
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. |
| 57 |

Let total profit is x rs.
Then remaing profit (x-x*5/100).
= 95x/100.
A's profit is 3/5*95x/100.
= 57x/100.
But A'shares of profit is given as 855 so 57x/100 = 855.
x = 1500 that is total profit.
Then remaing profit (x-x*5/100).
= 95x/100.
A's profit is 3/5*95x/100.
= 57x/100.
But A'shares of profit is given as 855 so 57x/100 = 855.
x = 1500 that is total profit.

A's Share is 855 i.e. From that ratio 3:2.
3 is 855.
We need total so add the ratio value 3+2=5.
Using proportional method,
3 855
5 x
3x=5*855 => x=1425.
This 1425 is 95% we need 100% so use same method,
95 1425
100 x
95x=100*1425 =>x=1500.
3 is 855.
We need total so add the ratio value 3+2=5.
Using proportional method,
3 855
5 x
3x=5*855 => x=1425.
This 1425 is 95% we need 100% so use same method,
95 1425
100 x
95x=100*1425 =>x=1500.

Let tota profit be x.
5 % of the total profit goes to charity=5/100 x=x/20.
Profit left =x-x/20=19/x.
This profit is divided between a and b in ratio 3:2.
A's share is 855.
855=3/5 multiply 19x/20,
x=855x20x5/19x3=1500,
Thus the total profit is 1500.
5 % of the total profit goes to charity=5/100 x=x/20.
Profit left =x-x/20=19/x.
This profit is divided between a and b in ratio 3:2.
A's share is 855.
855=3/5 multiply 19x/20,
x=855x20x5/19x3=1500,
Thus the total profit is 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.

Let x be the number.
A : B = 3 : 2,that is 3x : 2x, 3x = 855.
X = 285,B share is 2(285) = 570.
570 + 855 = 1425.
Remaining percentage left is 95 is 1425.
Then 5 percentage is?
95-1425.
5 -. ?
That is 1425*5/95=1500 that's the answer.

A = 3.
B = 2.
A profit is 810.
3 parts 810.
1 part is 810%3 = 285.
B=2 parts 2(285) = 570.
810 + 570 = 1425.
Total profit is 100% charity 5% remaing 95% is A and B.
95% = 1425
THEN 1% IS 15 5% is alwasly 75.
Total 1425 + 75 = 1500.
B = 2.
A profit is 810.
3 parts 810.
1 part is 810%3 = 285.
B=2 parts 2(285) = 570.
810 + 570 = 1425.
Total profit is 100% charity 5% remaing 95% is A and B.
95% = 1425
THEN 1% IS 15 5% is alwasly 75.
Total 1425 + 75 = 1500.

A:B=3:2
A/B=3/2.
A's share=855(after 5% for charity),
855/B=3/2,
855*2=3B,
B=570,
total profit be x.
profit after 5% charity=855+570=1425,
x-5%of x=1425,
x- 5/100 of x =1425,
95x=1425*100,
x=142500/95=1500.
A/B=3/2.
A's share=855(after 5% for charity),
855/B=3/2,
855*2=3B,
B=570,
total profit be x.
profit after 5% charity=855+570=1425,
x-5%of x=1425,
x- 5/100 of x =1425,
95x=1425*100,
x=142500/95=1500.

Let x be the total profit, after charity profit becomes x-5.
So A's share = 3/5 (x-5).
And in the question A's share = 855.
Equating A's share, we get.
= 3/5(x-5) = 855.
After solving we get x = 1500.
So A's share = 3/5 (x-5).
And in the question A's share = 855.
Equating A's share, we get.
= 3/5(x-5) = 855.
After solving we get x = 1500.

No of the share = 5
A is share = 3 , B is share = 2
A's Profit = 855
per share rate 855/3= 285
B's share 285*2= 570
total profit= A+B+5%
95%(A+B)= 1425
5% = 75
total Profit= 1500
A is share = 3 , B is share = 2
A's Profit = 855
per share rate 855/3= 285
B's share 285*2= 570
total profit= A+B+5%
95%(A+B)= 1425
5% = 75
total Profit= 1500
