Question 1054148
<font color=black size=3>
total investment = 6000+5000+3000 = 14000


total investment = 14000 dollars


------------------------------------------------------------------------


Person A invested 6000 out of 14000. So their proportion is 6000/14000 = 6/14 = 3/7. 


Multiply this fraction by 5600 to find the amount person A gets:
(3/7)*5600 = 2400
So person A gets $2,400


------------------------------------------------------------------------


Person B invested 5000 out of 14000. So their proportion is 5000/14000 = 5/14


Multiply this fraction by 5600 to find the amount person B gets:
(5/14)*5600 = 2000
So person B gets $2,000

------------------------------------------------------------------------


Person C invested 3000 out of 14000. So their proportion is 3000/14000 = 3/14


Multiply this fraction by 5600 to find the amount person C gets:
(3/14)*5600 = 1200
So person C gets $1,200


------------------------------------------------------------------------


Summary:
<font color=red>
Person A gets $2,400
Person B gets $2,000
Person C gets $1,200

Notice how their shares add back up to 5600
2400+2000+1200 = 5600
