A and B started a business with capital in the ratio 3 : 2. They donated 5% of their profit in a charitable trust. A got Rs. 855 as a profit. Find their total profit.

Rs. 1500

            A    :       B

Profit : 3     :      2 = 5R

Here,

5R is 95% of the total profit.

A's profit = \(\frac{3}{5}\) x \(\frac{95 }{100}\) x Total Profit = 855

⇒ Total Profit = 1500
