Rajendra and Rehana own a business. Rehana receives 25% of the profit in each month. If Rehana received 2080 in particular month, what is the total profit in that month?

The % of profit received by rehana in each month = 25%

The amount received by rehana at particular month = 2080


Let the total profit = X


25% of X = 2080


Here % compares every number to 100,




X = 8320


∴ The total profit in that month is Rs. 8320
