Answer 2

Sam owns 28% of partnership.

Explanation:

Given,

David owns 24% of a partnership.

Robert owns 48% of the partnership.

To find the partnership of Sam.

Let, total partnership is 100

Then, David owns = 24

Robert owns = 48

Total partnership they both own = (24+48) = 72

So,

Sam own = 100 - 72 = 28

Hence,

Sam owns 28% of partnership.
