Patel and Meena shared profit from their company in the ratio 4:3 respectively. Meena got sh 140000 less than Patel. How much profit did the have altogether?
Let's assume that Patel's share of profit is 4x and Meena's share of profit is 3x.
According to the given information, Meena got sh 140000 less, so we can write the equation:
4x - 3x = 140000
x = 140000
Therefore, Patel's share of profit = 4x = 4 * 140000 = sh 560000
Meena's share of profit = 3x = 3 * 140000 = sh 420000
Altogether, they shared a profit of:
560000 + 420000 = sh 980000
