If three people invest in a business and one puts in 300, one puts in 900, and one puts in 700, how do you divide up 95 in profit based on there investment?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The three people invested at a ratio of 3:9;7
\n" ); document.write( "This is the same as 3x:9x:7x
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "3x+9x+7x = 95
\n" ); document.write( "19x = 95
\n" ); document.write( "x = 95/19
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 3(95/19) = 285/19 = $15
\n" ); document.write( "9x = 9(95/19) = 3*15 = $45
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 7(95/19) = 7*5 = $35
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The 300 investor gets $15
\n" ); document.write( "The $900 investor gets $45
\n" ); document.write( "The $700 investeor gets $35
\n" ); document.write( "==============================
