Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total investment is $325,000 ($100,000 + $150,000 + $75,000). The profit shares are proportional to the investments: Sam ($100,000/$325,000), Domenic ($150,000/$325,000), and Sal ($75,000/$325,000). Calculating these fractions of the $80,000 profit gives $24,615.38 for Sam, $36,923.08 for Domenic, and $18,461.54 for Sal.
