Let's define variables:
x1: Friend 1 contribution for the business
x2: Friend 2 contribution for the business
x3: Friend 3 contribution for the business
The total contribution is:
[tex]C = x1 + x2 + x3
C = 500 + 350 + 200
C = 1050[/tex]
The percentage that each one contributes is given by:
[tex]Pi = = (xi / C) * 100
[/tex]
Where,
i = 1, 2, 3
Calculating we have:
[tex]P1 = (x1 / C) * 100 = (500/1050) * 100 = 47.61904762
P2 = (x2 / C) * 100 = (350/1050) * 100 = 33.33333333
P3 = (x3 / C) * 100 = (200/1050) * 100 = 19.04761905[/tex]
Thus, the profit of each one is:
[tex]Gi = (Pi / 100) * 1200
[/tex]
Calculating we have:
[tex]G1 = (P1 / 100) * 1200 = (47.61904762 / 100) * 1200 = 571.43 $
G2 = (P2 / 100) * 1200 = (33.33333333 / 100) * 1200 = 400 $
[/tex]
[tex]G3 = (P3 / 100) * 1200 = (19.04761905 / 100) * 1200 = 228.57 $[/tex]
Answer:
To each corresponds:
571.43, 400, 228.57
Respectively
