The number of months A worked = 12 months. The number of months B worked = 10 months. Number of months C worked = 8 months According to the question, 112000 × 12 : 80000 × 8 + 72000 × 8 : 72000 × 6 + 64000 × 2 = 336 : 160 + 36 : 108 + 32 = 84 : 49 : 35 Received profit = 9800. Then, (49/168) × x = 9800(let x is the total profit) x = (9800 × 168)/49 x = 33600 |
