A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and A’s share in profit is Rs. 8,550, then total profit is

Let total profit be Rs. p.

Remaining profit after donations to charity = Rs.	95p
	100

Remaining profit after donations to charity = Rs.	19p
	20

A : B = 3 : 2
Sum of the terms of the ratio = 3 + 2 = 5

∴ A’s share =		19p	×	3
		20		5
