Question: X and Y invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and X's share is Tk. 1425, the total profit is:

Solution:
Let the total profit be Tk. 100.
After paying Tk. 5 to charity, X's share = [95 × (3/5)]
= Tk. 57

If X's share is Tk. 57, total profit = Tk. 100.
If X's share is Tk. 1425, total profit = [(100/57) × 1425]
= Tk. 2500
