Find their total yearly profit when Gaga's income is one half of Beyonce's income. Correct Answer Rs. 9180
Given∶
Beyonce's investment = Rs. 45,000
Also, the profit to be equally divided, and
Gaga pays Beyonce interest on half of the investment at 10% p.a. but receives Rs. 120 per month.
Formula Used∶
Concept of ratios and simple Interest ; SI = (P × R × T) / 100
Calculation∶
Let the total profit be Rs.x
Amount paid to Gaga = (120 × 12) = Rs. 1440
Share of each = (x - 1440) / 2
Total money received by Gaga = (x - 1440)/2 + 1440 - 2250 = (x - 1440/2) - 810
Thus, total profit
⇒ 2 = (x - 1440)/2 + 2250
⇒ 2 = (x - 1440 + 4500)/2
⇒ x - 3060 = 1/2 (x + 3060)
⇒ 2x - 6120 = x + 3060
⇒ 2x - x = 6120 + 3060
⇒ x = 9180
∴ Their total yearly profit is of Rs. 9180.
