Question 926153
the owner and a partner in a small business share profits in the ratio 2:1. for a month in which the business realizes a profit of $15,600. what is the owners share of the profit?
-----------------
2:1 is the same as 2x:x 
----
Equation:
2x + x = 15,600
3x = 15600
x = 5200
2x = 10400 (owner's share)
