Answer: Profit for first boy = $14
Profit for second boy = $21
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Ratio of profits = 2:3
Let profit for one boy = 2x and for another boy = 3x
Since combined profit = $35
Then, 2x+3x= 35
⇒ 5x= 35
⇒ x= 7 [divide both sides by 5]
Profit for first boy = 2 (7)= $14
Profit for second boy = 3 (7)= $21
