Given:
A is working partner and B is sleeping partner. A puts Rs.5000 and B puts Rs.6000. A receives 12.5% of profit for managing the business and rest gets divided.
Concept used:
Partnership
Calculation:
Investment of capital by A and B is 5000 : 6000
A : B = 5 : 6
A receives 12.5% profit = 1/8
Total profit = 8 unit
As per the Question
8 unit = 880
1 unit = 110 → The Profit A gets.
7 unit is distributed between A and B.
Distributed amount = 770
Dividing 770 into 5 : 6
A : B = 350 : 420 → ratio of profit of A : B
Total profit earned by A = 350 + 110 = Rs.460
