Mary and Mike enter into a partnership by investing $800 and $200 respectively. At the end of one year, they divided their profits such that a third of the profit is divided equally for the efforts they have put into the business and the remaining amount of profit is divided in the ratio of the investments they made in the business. If Mary received $1200 more than Mike did, what was the profit made by their business in that year?	Choices.
A) $3000	B) $3500	C) $4000	D) $4200	E) $4500
Explanatory Answer   Let the profit made during the year be $3x   Therefore, $x would have been shared equally and the remaining $2x would have been shared in the ratio 8 : 2.   i.e., 80% of 2x would go to Mary and 20% of 2x would go to Mike.   Hence, Mary would get (80 - 20)% of 2x more than Mike   Or60% of 2x = $1200   i.e.,(60/100)*2x = 1200   or 2x = 2000.   Hence, the profit made by the company during the year $3x = $3000.   $3000nswer : $3000
