Elle and Jude formed a company and agreed that their annual profit will be shared in the ratio 4:5 respectively.If the end of the year Jude received $5000.00 more than Elle how much was Elle's share

Answer 1

Answer:

$20000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Elle received $x

Therefore, Jude received (x + 5000)$

$\because x : (x + 5000) = 4 :5$

$\therefore \frac{x}{(x + 5000)} = \frac {4}{5}$

$\therefore 5x = 4(x + 5000)$

$\therefore 5x = 4x + 20000$

$\therefore 5x - 4x = 20000$

$\therefore x = \ 20000$

Therefore, Elle's share = $20000
