Jerome's share of the total profit amounts to one-third. To determine the overall profit of the company, multiply his profit by 3.
If he earned $150,000, the calculation would be:
150,000 × 3 = $450,000
So, the total profit is $450,000.
The dot simply represents multiplication.
Given that the water in the tank doubles every minute, it implies that when the tank was full, it was half full just one minute prior. If it reaches fullness after 60 minutes, it was indeed double what it was a minute earlier. Hence, the opposite of doubling is halving. A minute before the tank filled completely, it was at half capacity. Therefore, it confirms that it was half full after 59 minutes.
