    Answer: 41.67%

    Given:

    If X=Joe's investment in the business

    4X = Thea's investment

    7X = Taylor's investment

    When it reached 1.6 million,

    X+4X+7X=1,600,000

    12x=1,600,000

    X=1,600,000/12

    X = 133,333.3 Joe's investment

    4x = 4 (133,333.3)

    =533,333.3 is Thea's investment.

    If this amount will be added to Joe's, Joe's investment will be 666,666.7 or 41.67% of the business
