| James | : | Vaibhav | |
| Last year → | 4 | : | 5 |
Let last years total loss ⇒ 90
Last years loss of James $$ = 90 \times \frac{4}{9} = 40$$
Last years loss of Vaibhav $$ = 90 \times \frac{5}{9} = 50$$
| James → | Last year | : | Present year |
| 3 | : | 5 |
3 ratio → 40
5 ratio → $$\frac{{200}}{3}$$
| Vaibhav → | Last year | : | Present year |
| 2 | : | 3 |
2 ratio → 50
1 ratio → 25
3 ratio → 75
| James | : | Vaibhav | |
| Present year → | $$\frac{{200}}{3}$$ | : | 75 |
| 8 | : | 9 |
17 ratio → 357000
1 ratio → 21000
8 ratio → 168000
