Hi guys,
Let take a look on the below
if total profit is 100
remaining profit is 95 (because the 5% profit goes to charity)
so now the profit need distribute to A and B
Bow we can calculate the A's profit
A's Profit = (3/5)*95 = 57
As per problem A got Rs 855
So 57% = 855
So we need full profit = (855/57)*100 = 1500

We will calculate for 100, and by using that we will calculate for the actual value.

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.

5% in 855 is,
0.05 * 855 = 42.75.

Why can't we do it like 3/2 x 5/100X = 855?
