Let the total profit be ‘X’
Profit after deducting charity shall be ‘X-.5X’
This means distributable profit shall be .95X
A’s share of Profit would be 3/5 of .95 X and B’s share of Profit shall be 2/5 of .95x
Solving the equations, we will get the value of X=1500 (Total Profit)
Distributable Profit = 1500*95% = 1425
