Example Question #28 : How To Find The Part From The Whole
If four friends invest equally in a company and they make $50,000 profit, how much is one share of the profit?
Since they invested equally, the four friends will divide the profit equally by .
So, using long division one share will be,
Another approach is to pull out factors as follows.
One two on the top and one two on the bottom cancel out. Next factor the numerator again.
The two on the top and the two on the bottom cancel out and the final solution is seen.
