| 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.

Basically, total Share given to A is 95% i.e 855.
Therefore totally A got 900 (855/95) * 100,
and the investment is 3 : 2,
so if 3 is 900, 2 will be 600,
900+600 = 1500.
Therefore totally A got 900 (855/95) * 100,
and the investment is 3 : 2,
so if 3 is 900, 2 will be 600,
900+600 = 1500.

A:B = 3:2.
3/5 x (Total Profit - 5%) = 855.
Total Profit -5% = 1425,
Total Profit = 1425 + 5% of TP,
5% of 1425 is not 1500.
It is 1496.25.,
1425 x 105/100 = 1496.25.
3/5 x (Total Profit - 5%) = 855.
Total Profit -5% = 1425,
Total Profit = 1425 + 5% of TP,
5% of 1425 is not 1500.
It is 1496.25.,
1425 x 105/100 = 1496.25.

A:B=3:2.
If 5% of the total profit goes to charity.
A's share = 855
let total profit is x
A:B=3x:2x.
A's share = (3x/5)*855=1425.
if 5% added to profit=1425+5%=1500.
If 5% of the total profit goes to charity.
A's share = 855
let total profit is x
A:B=3x:2x.
A's share = (3x/5)*855=1425.
if 5% added to profit=1425+5%=1500.

Easy method A's share 3part = 855.
So one part of A = 855/3 = 285.
Now B's share = 285*2 = 570.
So 95% of profit = 1425.
100% share = 1425/95*100 = 1500.
So one part of A = 855/3 = 285.
Now B's share = 285*2 = 570.
So 95% of profit = 1425.
100% share = 1425/95*100 = 1500.

A and B invested in the ratio 3:2,
So, profit also 3:2 If 3r=855,2r=570 .
5% goes to charity,
So 95% = 855 + 570 = 1425.
If, 95%=1425 then 100% = 1500.
So, profit also 3:2 If 3r=855,2r=570 .
5% goes to charity,
So 95% = 855 + 570 = 1425.
If, 95%=1425 then 100% = 1500.

a:b = 3:2
Total parts 5.
5%goes to charity then 100-5 = 95%.
then 95/5 = 19.
a = 3 * 19 = 57.
b = 2 * 19 = 38.
The profit is 855/57 = 15.
15*100=1500

Let total profit= x.
Since 5% goes to chairity so.
Now total profit=95x/100.
So this profit distribute between A and B.
95x/100*3/5=855.
X=1500.

Let total profit is x
Then 5% of profit goes to charity= 5x/100
Rest amount is 95% of x= 95x/100
A's share = 855
95x/100*3/5 = 855
x=1500
Then 5% of profit goes to charity= 5x/100
Rest amount is 95% of x= 95x/100
A's share = 855
95x/100*3/5 = 855
x=1500

Easy method:
Let's assume B's share as x.
855/x = 3/2.
So, x = 570.
Then 570 + 855 = 1425 + 5% = 1496.25.
Which would approximate to 1500.

3:2=A's profit : B's profit.
Let Total profit be x,
A's profit = (3/5) * (95/100) *x=855.
Therefore on calculating Total profit,
X = 1500.
