Question

Sam Mark and Jack were partners in business. Sam and Mark each receive twice as much of profit as Jack did. If the total profit was 1800 how much did Jack receive

Answer 1

Answer:360

Explanation:

Let the profit of Jack be x , since Sam and Mark received twice as much of profit of Jack, then,

Sam's profit = 2x

Mark's profit = 2x

since the toatl profit = 1800 , then

x + 2x + 2x = 1800

5x = 1800

x = 1800/5

x= 360

Therefore Jack received 360
