Breaking Down the Info:
Note how the numbers are quite far apart, so we are allowed to use rough estimates to guess the answer.
They invested 500,500 in total. The revenue is \(93\% * 675,000 /approx 630,000\).
Then the total profit is roughly \(125k\), and split this among 4 people to get roughly \(31k\) for each person.

Shouldn't we take 93%(675-500500) and divide it by 4 since we are calculating the profit of each girl and not the revenue per girl
