40% of the profit which was distributed according to their investments.

Let total profit = R.
40% of R is distributed in the ratio, 125000 : 85000 = 25 : 17

Share of 1st partner = 40% of R x25/(25 + 17)
= 40% of 25R/42 = (40/100) x (25R/42) = 5R/21

Share of 2nd partner
= 40% of 17R/42 = (40/100) x (17R/42) = 17R/105

Now according to the question
5R/21 - 17R/105 = 600
R(25 - 17)/105 = 600
R = (600 x 105)/8
= 7875

Two partners invest 125000 and 85000, respectively in a business and agree that 60% of the profit should be divided equally between them and the remaining profit is to be treated as interest on capital. If one partner gets 600 more than the other, find the total profit made in the business.
