A total amount of money was shared among five business women. Jane received 3/8 of the total amount. Jepchoge received 2/5 of the remainder. The remaining amount was shared equally among Esther, Mama

Jane's share is $\frac{3}{8}$ of the total amount.

This amount was shared equally among Esther, Mama Charo, and Chepkoech.

6,000.
The total amount received by these three is:

The total amount shared among the five business women was Kshs. 48,000.
Kshs. 48,000

Jepchoge got Kshs. 12,000.
Kshs. 12,000

c) Jane, Jepchoge and Chepkoech invested their money and earned a profit of Kshs. 12,000. A third of the profit was left to maintain the business and the rest was shared according to their investments. Find how much each got.

Jane's investment: $\frac{3}{8} \times \text{Kshs. } 48,000 = \text{Kshs. } 18,000$
Jepchoge's investment: $\text{Kshs. } 12,000$ (from part b)
Chepkoech's investment: $\text{Kshs. } 6,000$ (given in the problem)

Total profit earned = Kshs. 12,000
Amount left for maintenance = $\frac{1}{3} \times \text{Kshs. } 12,000 = \text{Kshs. } 4,000$
Profit to be shared = $\text{Kshs. } 12,000 - \text{Kshs. } 4,000 = \text{Kshs. } 8,000$

Jane : Jepchoge : Chepkoech

Divide by the greatest common divisor (6,000):

Total ratio parts = $3 + 2 + 1 = 6$

Jane's share of profit:

Jepchoge's share of profit:

Chepkoech's share of profit:

Jane got Kshs. 4,000, Jepchoge got Kshs. 2,666.67, and Chepkoech got Kshs. 1,333.33.
Jane: Kshs. 4,000, Jepchoge: Kshs. 2,666.67, Chepkoech: Kshs. 1,333.33
