Step-by-step explanation:
A invested 450
B invested 150
C invested 600
total investment was 1200
share of A is 450/1200 = .375
share of B is 150/1200 = .125
share of C is 600/1200 = .5
C received a profit of 24.70.
that would be .5 of the total profit.
if we let x = total profit, we get .5 * x = 24.70
solve for x to get x = 24.70 / .5 = 49.40
A share of total profit = .375 * 49.4 = 18.525
B share of total profit = .125 * 49.4 = 6.175
C share of total profit .5 * 49.4 = 24.7
total profit = 49.4 as we had calculated earlier.
