Answer: The profits would be shared equally

Explanation: This is because

Since there was no agreement stating how profits would be divided, then the applicable state Limited Liability Company statute will rule. Most LLC statutes states that if members do not specify how profits are to be divided, they will be divided equally. As long as no operating agreement or LLC statute addressed the particular issue, the partnership law applys which also indicates that profits should be divided equally among the owners of a firm unless it was specified otherwise.
