Partnership
1.
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:
Rs. 1425
Rs. 1500
Rs. 1537.50
Rs. 1576
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.

It is also done by this method.

855 is A.

Total 855*5/3=1425.

Now 1425*100/95 =1500.

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

We will calculate for 100, and by using that we will calculate for the actual value.
Brijesh Patel said:   8 years ago
Because percentage is always in 100 form.

So, 100/57 percentage that is A's share.

Hey by taking optins A 1425.

So.

1425*3/5=855.

So 1st option is also correct..

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

3/5X = 855.
X = 1425.

If 95% = 1425.
100% = 1500, so simple.

3 : 2

3/5 X * 95/100 = 855
X = 855 * 5/3 * 100/95
X = 1500.
