Question

Partner Investment
A $4300
B $7700
The amounts that two partners invested in a new business are given in the table above. If the partners share the profits in the same ratio as their investment, what is partner B's share in a $3600 profit?

Answer 1

The total invested was $4300+$7700=$12,000
Each investor's share is represented by (amount invested/total invested)
that can then be multiplied by the profit to determine proper share.
A's part of the profit would be (4300/12,000)(3600)=$1290
B's part of the profit would be (7700/12,000)(3600)=$2310
