Question 803016
Three individuals form a partnership and agree to divide the profits equally. X invests $9,000, Y invests $7,000, and Z invests $4,000. If the profits are $4,800 how much less does X receive if the profits were divided in proportion to the amount invested?
------
Solve: 9000k + 7000k + 4000k = 4800
----------
20000k = 4800
k = 0.24
------
X receives = 9000*0.24 = $2160
Y receives = $1680
Z receives = $960
