Question

a company’s profit of 18000 is shared by 2 directors and 24 employees 1-3 of the profit is shared equally by 2 directors of the company

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that:

• Each director gets 6000.

• Each employee gets 500.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, the directors share one-third of the profit, hence:

18000/3 = 6000

6000/2 = 3000.

That is, each director gets 6000.

The remaining 18000 - 6000 = 12000 will be shared equally by the 24 employees, hence:

12000/24 = 500

Each employee gets 500.
