C1:C2:C3 C2:C4:C5
9 : 10 : 8 18 : 19: 20

First Step: Reorder & Find LCM of 10 and 18 (C2) -> LCM (10,18)=90
C1:C3:!!C2!!:C4:C5
9x9:9x8:!!9x10(5x18)!!: 5x19:5x20 -> 5x18 is in brackets not to multiply it with 9x10 but to show you how I used the LCM to "stick the two different ratio pairs together
81:72:"90":95:100

Difference c5-c1 is exactly 19 so "one unit" in the ratio relations is 1k profit

Sum up -> 81+72+90+95+100=438
