16. Paul Eisner, Dylan Connor, and Martina Ybarria invest $25,000, $50,000, and$75,000, respectively, in a business. Later, they sell the business for $96,000 anddivide the proceeds in proportion to their original investment. How much doesMartina get?Answer

Respuesta :

Answer:

$48,000

Explanation:

First, determine the proportion of Martina's investment.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Proportion}=\frac{\text{Martina's Investment}}{Total\text{ Investment}} \\ =\frac{75,000}{25,000+50,000+75,000} \\ =\frac{75,000}{150,000} \\ =\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the amount Martina gets will be:

[tex]\text{Martina's share}=\frac{1}{2}\times96,000=\$48,000[/tex]

Martina gets $48,000.
