- A, B, and C started a business with different investment amounts.

- Total profit needs calculation based on how it is distributed:

- A gets 20% of the profit as a working allowance.

- Remaining 80% of the profit is divided according to their capital contributions.

- Ratio of their investments is calculated as A:B:C = 55,000:65,000:75,000.

- The money received by C is Rs 27,000 based on his investment proportion.

- Let’s find the total profit (P):

- C’s share is (75,000/195,000) * 0.8P = Rs 27,000.

- 0.8P = Rs 70,200.

- Total profit, P = Rs 87,750.
