15. D
Maria invested $24,000 while her sister, Christiana invested $8,000 for a total of $32,000. The ratio of their investment is as follows:
Maria ratio = A * $32,000 = $24,000
where A is the ratio of maria investment,
A = $24,000/ $32,000 = 3/4
Therefore the ratio of Maria investment is 3/4
Christiana ratio = B* $32,000 = $ 8,000
B = $8,000/ 32,000 = 1/4.
To share a profit of $60,000 based on their investment ratio,
Mary will have 3/4 * $60,000 = $45,000 while
Christiana will have 1/4 * $60,000 = $15,000.
Therefore the correct option is D.
