Sujata and Kavita started a parlor into a partnership with investment in the ratio of 4 : 3 respectively.

If at the end of one year they earned a profit of Rs. 50000 out of which 8% goes to the charity. Find the share of Kavita in the profit. Correct Answer Rs. 24,000
Given
Percentage of kavita’s part in the profit = 15%
Profit earned after 1 year = Rs. 50000
Percentage of profit goes to charity = 8%
Formula Used
Investment = capital × time
Calculation
Amount goes to charity = 8% × 50000 = Rs. 4000
Amount goes to Kavita as a working partner =15% × 50000 = Rs. 7500
Remaining amount = Rs. (50000 – 7500 – 4000) = Rs. 38500
Share of Kavita in the remaining profit = 3 × 38500/ 7 = Rs. 16500
Total share of Kavita = Rs. (7500 + 16500) = Rs. 24000
∴ kavita’s total share of profit is Rs. 24,000.
