Three friends are starting a new exercise equipment franchise. Their investments are in the ratio of 5:7:11. The smallest investor is contributing $75,000. What is the largest investor contributing?

Respuesta :

Given:

Ratio of investments are 5:7:11.

Contribution of smallest investor = $75,000

To find:

The contribution of largest investor.

Solution:

Let the contribution of three friends be 5x, 7x and 11x respectively.

Here, 5x is smallest and 11 is largest.

The smallest investor is contributing $75,000.

[tex]5x=75000[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5.

[tex]x=15000[/tex]

Now,

[tex]\text{Contribution of largest investor}=11x[/tex]

[tex]\text{Contribution of largest investor}=11(15000)[/tex]

[tex]\text{Contribution of largest investor}=165000[/tex]

Therefore, the contribution of largest investor is $165,000.
