Question

Four students share a $1,000 prize for a project. They decide to split the money based on the amount of work each team member contributed to the project. Cathy receives 1/8 of the total and Zhong receives 1/5 of the total. Stacey receives the average of what Cathy and Zhong receive. Benny receives the remainder. Determine the fraction of the prize money Benny receives and the amount of money each receives.
Explain please

Answer 1

Well thinks of it as 10/10, so Cathy revived 1/5, so that means 3/10th then Zhong received 1/8 which is 2/10th. Stacy revived the average which it about 49% or 3/10. which can only mean Benny got 2/10!
