    Answer: $35,276

    Explanation:

    They both have salaries of $12,900 and $18,500 for Singer and McMann, respectively as well as 10% of their initial investment.

    Removing both their salaries from the income will be,

    = 71,600 - 12,900 - 18,500

    = $40,200

    Then remove the interest of 10% on the original income that both of them earn from the remaining income.

    = 40,200 - (0.1 * 36,200) - (0.1 * 53,200)

    = 40,200 - 3,620 - 5,320

    = $31,260

    Now, out of this remaining figure, they share profits in a ratio of 3:2.

    Singer would therefore get 3/3+2 of the income.

    = 31,260 * 3/5

    = $18,756

    Now therefore, all of the money that Singer got would be,

    = 12,900 (salary) + 3,620 (10% interest) + 18,756

    = $35,276

    Singer's share of the income be $35,276
