To find how much profit Moses re-invested, we first determine the ratio of their contributions.
Determine the ratio of contributions.
Sarah's contribution: Shs 4,000,000
Moses's contribution: Shs 6,000,000
The ratio of Sarah's contribution to Moses's contribution is:The total number of ratio parts is .
Calculate Moses's share of the profit.
Total profit made: Shs 1,500,000
Moses's share of the profit is of the total profit.Since they re-invested the entire profit, Moses re-invested his share.
The amount of profit Moses re-invested in the business is .
Part b
To find the percentage increase in the number of birds, we use the formula for percentage increase.
Calculate the increase in the number of birds.
Initial number of birds: 2,000
New number of birds: 2,500Calculate the percentage increase.
The percentage increase in the number of birds was .
Part c
To find the date when they would buy feeds and balance their books on the same day, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the frequencies.
Identify the frequencies for each activity.
Feeds are bought every 7 days.
Books are balanced every 15 days.Find the LCM of 7 and 15.
Since 7 and 15 are coprime (they have no common factors other than 1), their LCM is their product.
This means both events will coincide every 105 days.
Calculate the future date by adding 105 days to the starting date (March 1, 2024).
Starting date: March 1, 2024.
Number of days in March 2024 (a leap year, but March is unaffected): 31 days.
Days remaining in March after March 1: days.
Remaining days to add: days.Number of days in April: 30 days.
Remaining days to add: days.Number of days in May: 31 days.
Remaining days to add: days.The remaining 14 days fall in June.
So, the date will be June 14, 2024.They would buy the feeds and also balance their books of accounts on the same day on .
