1 answer

To determine the new total capital, we need to calculate the amounts that George and John will contribute to the business after buying Ringo's share.

The total value of Ringo's share of the business is $35,000 + $70,000 = $<<35000+70000=105000>>105,000.
So, the total capital after the transaction is $80,000 (George's capital) + $90,000 (John's capital) + $105,000 (Ringo's share) = $<<80000+90000+105000=275000>>275,000. Answer: \boxed{275,000}.
