    Donalds share in the capital was 100,000/300,000 = 1/3

    May bought 35% so 0.35 of 300,000 = 105,000

    Out of this 105,000 1/3 was donalds share so, 1/3*105,000=34,650

    Donalds new share = 100,000 - 34,650 = 65,350

    $65,350 is Donalds new capital account balance

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Find out Donalds ratio of capital

    Step 2: Find out how much may needed to invest for a 35% share

    Step 3: Multiply Mays share by 1/3 to find out how much of that share will be bought from donald

    Step 4: Subtract the amount from Donalds original capital balance
