The ratio of their contributions is 250:100:50 = 5:2:1. So the fractions of the total that each of them provided is
George: 5/8
Jenna: 2/8
Doreen: 1/8
Dividing the profit of R160000 into 8 equal parts makes each part R20000. So the profit for each of the three is
George: 5*R20000 = R100000
Jenna: 2*R20000 = R40000
Doreen: 1*R20000 = R20000
