The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the information provided in the question and the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Investment Ratio**: A and B invest in the ratio of 4:3. This means that for every 4 parts A invests, B invests 3 parts. 2. **Determine the Total Parts**: The total parts of investment = 4 (A's part) + 3 (B's part) = 7 parts. 3. **Calculate the Share of A**: A's share of the profit will be proportional to his investment. Since A's investment is 4 parts out of 7, we can express A's share of the profit as: \[ \text{A's Share} = \frac{4}{7} \times \text{Remaining Profit} \] 4. **Account for Charity**: According to the problem, 9% of the total profit goes to charity. Therefore, the remaining profit after charity is: \[ \text{Remaining Profit} = \text{Total Profit} - \text{Charity} \] The charity amount is 9% of the total profit, which can be expressed as: \[ \text{Charity} = \frac{9}{100} \times \text{Total Profit} \] Thus, the remaining profit becomes: \[ \text{Remaining Profit} = \text{Total Profit} - \frac{9}{100} \times \text{Total Profit} = \frac{91}{100} \times \text{Total Profit} \] 5. **Express A's Share in Terms of Total Profit**: Substituting the remaining profit into A's share formula gives us: \[ \text{A's Share} = \frac{4}{7} \times \left(\frac{91}{100} \times \text{Total Profit}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ \text{A's Share} = \frac{364}{700} \times \text{Total Profit} \] 6. **Set Up the Equation**: We know from the problem that A's share is 1196. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ \frac{364}{700} \times \text{Total Profit} = 1196 \] 7. **Solve for Total Profit**: To find the Total Profit, we can rearrange the equation: \[ \text{Total Profit} = 1196 \times \frac{700}{364} \] Now calculate this: \[ \text{Total Profit} = 1196 \times \frac{700}{364} = 1196 \times 1.922 = 2300 \] ### Final Answer: The total profit is **2300**.
