They keep the ratio of profit at 4:3
J has 1/5 share, so D and K have
4/5 share together.
D has +%284%2F7%29%2A%284%2F5%29+=+16%2F35+ share
K has +%283%2F7%29%2A%284%2F5%29+=+12%2F35+ share
J has +1%2F5+ or +7%2F35+ share
-----------------------------
Note that +16%2F35+%2B+12%2F35+%2B+7%2F35+=+1+
as it should
The ratios now are:
D:K:J = 16:12:7
