    Answer:

      (a) A : B = $9000 : $6000

      (b) $1260

      (c) A : S : J = $1050 : $2250 : $1200 = 7 : 15 : 8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    (a) The investment ratio is …

      Angela : Barbara = 24000 : 16000 = 3 : 2

    The profit of 15,000 goes 3/(3+2) = 3/5 to Angela, and 2/5 to Barbara:

      Angela’s share: (3/5)($15,000) = $9,000

      Barbara’s share: (2/5)($15,000) = $6,000

    __

    (b) We can multiply the ratio by $140 to see the larger amount:

      4 : 9 = ($140)(4) : ($140)(9) = $560 : $1260

    The larger share is $1260.

    __

    (c) Sian gets (1/2)($4500) = $2250. Anesha gets $1050. So  Joanne gets …

      $2250 -1050 = $1200

    Then the shares are …

      i. Sian: $2250

      ii. Joanne: $1200

      iii. Ratios: A : S : J = 105 : 225 : 120 = 7 : 15 : 8
