a , b and c enter into a partnership by investing $ 11000 , $ 15000 and $ 23000 respectively . at the end of 8 months , b receives $ 1540 as his share . find the share of a .
"the ratio of capital of a , b and c = 11000 : 15000 : 23000 = 11 : 15 : 23 a ' s share = ( 11 / 15 ) * 1560 = $ 1144 the answer is d ."
divide(multiply(multiply(11000, divide(1540, divide(multiply(15000, 8), const_100))), 8), const_100)
