Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A and B started a business with investments of $10,000 and $15,000 respectively. What is the ratio of their profits after one year?
Correct Answer: 2:3
  • Step 1: Identify the amount A invested, which is $10,000.
  • Step 2: Identify the amount B invested, which is $15,000.
  • Step 3: Write the investments as a ratio: A's investment to B's investment is 10000:15000.
  • Step 4: Simplify the ratio 10000:15000 by dividing both numbers by 5000.
  • Step 5: After simplification, the ratio becomes 2:3.
  • Step 6: Since profits are shared based on the investment ratio, the profit ratio will also be 2:3.
  • Investment Ratio – The ratio of investments made by partners A and B, which determines their share of profits.
  • Profit Sharing – The principle that profits are shared in proportion to the investments made by each partner.
