Problema Solution
Share $48 amongst A, B and C so that for every $4 given to A, B receives $3 and for every $4 given to B, C receives $3.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the money given to A.
Then B receives (3/4)x and C will receive (3/4)(3/4)x
Since the total amount of money is 48 we have:
x + (3/4)x + (3/4)(3/4)x = 48

x = $20.76
(3/4)*20.76 = $15.57
(3/4)*15.57 = $11.68
A received $20.76.
B received $15.57.
C received $11.68.
