But the scientist in me says- that's not what was asked. It's a classic if\ then question. The total investment was 20k. 9k of 20k = 45%. So 45% of $4,800 = $2160. (1\3 of $4800 = $1600) $2160 - $1600 = $560. So if you can figure that out in your head in 15 seconds, you ARE a F**king genius.
The answer had damn well be multiple choice.
So if you want to deny the initial contract clause negates the advanced math-
Well, the lawyer in me says: the math IS meaningless/superfluous as the initial contract said they would share profits equally. I have had to deal with real life situations of this nature.....and I would have never bothered to deal in they hypothetical when the client asks how much cashish he is going to pocket.
