Divide each of the investments by the total of the three investments to get the three proportions. Then multiply each of the proportions times the total profit to determine the profit share.

How much of a profit of​ $4500 will each receive if their investments are​ $4000, $6000, and​ $5000 respectively?
Divide each of the investments by the total of the three investments to get the three proportions.

the total of the three investments: 4000%2B6000%2B5000=15000
Ratio of their investments
D: 4000%2F15000=4%2F15
E: 6000%2F15000=6%2F15=2%2F5
F: 5000%2F15000=5%2F15=1%2F3
D: $4500%2A%284%2F15%29=1200
E: $4500%2A%282%2F5%29=1800
F: $4500%2A%281%2F3%29=1500
