Brandon and Melissa are investing R220 and R80 respectively in an effort to raise money the profit of R1776 must be divided in proportion between them. How much money will each receive

Question

Pls do the calculations for me

Answer 1

Between them they contribute R300 (that is, R220+R80).

Brandon is contributing 220/300=11/15 of the total contribution while Melissa is contributing 80/300=4/15 (=1-11/15).

They each receive a proportion of the profit R1776 associated with their proportions of their contribution.

Brandon receives (11/15)1776=R1302.40 and Melissa (4/15)1776=R473.60.
