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.

5% to charity
therefore..95%=0.95 to both a and b
let x be the total profit
0.95*x*(3/5)=855
therefore... x=1500
therefore..95%=0.95 to both a and b
let x be the total profit
0.95*x*(3/5)=855
therefore... x=1500

Total profit = x.
5% is going to charity.
So remaining is 95%.
95x/100*3/5 = 855.
X = 855*5/3*100/95.
X is 1500.
5% is going to charity.
So remaining is 95%.
95x/100*3/5 = 855.
X = 855*5/3*100/95.
X is 1500.

3/5*91 = 855.
100 = profit (here 100 is nothing but total profit) after solving we get profit=1500 that simp).

A's share is 855.
855/3 = 285.
285×5 = 1425,
1425/95 = 15.
Now 15 is the 1% of total profit,
15×100 = 1500.
855/3 = 285.
285×5 = 1425,
1425/95 = 15.
Now 15 is the 1% of total profit,
15×100 = 1500.

3% of a value 855
So 855/3 *2=A VALUE
So, 570 of a Value 855+570=1425
So, the answer is 1425.
So 855/3 *2=A VALUE
So, 570 of a Value 855+570=1425
So, the answer is 1425.

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.

Remaining profit=(1-0.05)=0.95P
A's share=(0.95p*3)/5
855=0.95p*3/5
p=855*5/(3*0.95)
p=1500
A's share=(0.95p*3)/5
855=0.95p*3/5
p=855*5/(3*0.95)
p=1500
