<human>:  Company A and Company B merge. Company A receives 60% of the combined profits under the new merger, and company B receives 40% of the profits. If company B gets a total of $60000 in profit, how much does company A get?
<bot>: Define a variable ** Let the total profit of both companies be denoted by x.
How much does company B get? ** Therefore, 40% * x = 0.4 * x = $60000
How much does company B get? ** So x = $60000 / 0.4 = $150000.
How much does company B get? ** If Company B gets 60 % of the profits, it gets 60% of $150000, which is 0.6 * $150000 = $<<0.6*150000=90000>>90000.
