Question 894801: three individual contribute 5000, 7500, and 9000 which is together invested in stock. Aftera year, the stock has made 6450 on top of capital. If the money is withdrawn, how much will each individual recieve if their earnings are directly proportional to the capital originally contributed?

total capital originally invested = 5000 + 7500 + 9000 = 21500.
they made 6450 profit.
first person gets 5000 / 21500 * 6450 = 1500
second person gets 7500 / 21500 * 6450 = 2250
third person gets 9000 / 21500 * 6450 = 2700
