indu and nandu started a business . After one year they divided the profit obtained in the ratio 5:3. if indu got Rs 300 more than nandu,what is the total profit?

Let x be the total profit.
Profit obtained by Indu = 5x/8
Profit obtained byNandu = 3x/8
Given that 5x/8 = 3x/8 + 300
5x = 3x + 2400
2x = 2400 implies x = 1200
