Sagot :

Shaun invested $176,250 into the new business.

Marcus invested half of the $940,000 so the amount that Shaun and Tristan invested is:

= 940,000 / 2

= $470,000

Shaun and Tristan invested in the ratio 3:5.

The amount that Shaun invested is:

= (Ratio of Shaun / Sum of the ratios) x Amount both invested

= (3 / (3 + 5 )) x 470,000

= 3/8 x 470,000

= $176,250

In conclusion, Shaun must have invested $176,250 into the business.
