Sherry : Tom : Kim : Jolene = 250 : 100 : 150 : 200
Their share is in proportion of = \(5 : 2 : 3 : 4\)
Total money invested = 250 + 100 + 150 + 200 = 700
Total earning = 1400
\(Profit = 700\)
At the end of two months, they all shared half of the total profit in proportion with their contribution.
So they share 350 in the proportion of \(5 : 2 : 3 : 4\)
Sherry - \(\frac{5}{13}\) * 350 = 134.61
Tom - \(\frac{2}{13}\) * 350 = 53.84
Kim - \(\frac{3}{13}\) * 350 = 80.76
Jolene - \(\frac{4}{13}\) * 350 = 107.69
Notice, what we are asked to find : which partner(s) got less than a seventh of the total profit ? So we need people who earned less than \(100\)
Tom & Kim
Answer B E
Don't you think it will be \(14\) instead of \(13\) in the denominator?
