If the new profit-sharing ratio of A and B is 9:7 and A's old share was 1/2, what is A's gaining share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1/16

Under the new ratio 9:7, A's new share is 9/(9+7) = 9/16. A's old share, 1/2, is equal to 8/16. Therefore, A's gaining share = new share − old share = 9/16 − 8/16 = 1/16. The value 9/16 is A's new total share, not the gain. Exam tip: Always calculate gaining share by subtracting the old share from the new share.
