First, we need to add 2/6 and 2/5.

2/6 can be simplified to 1/3

We need to have 1/3 and 2/5 have the same denominator. 3 and 5's LCM (least common multiply) is 15.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5. This equals 5/15.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 3. This equals 6/15.

5/15 plus 6/15 is 11/15. This means that Jack's 6000 dollars is 4/15.

Let's say that x is the total amount invested by all three.

6000/x would equal 4/15.

Solve this by multiply 6000 by 15 and 4 by x and making these two equal each other.

90000 would equal 4x. Divide both sides by 4 to get x.

90000 divided by 4 would be 22500.

4/15 is the fraction by Jack

22500 is the total amount invested by all 3

z=10yd

u = 62yd

v = 79 yd

please, also make sure these answers are correct from anyone, but ihave answer correct :)

andreev551 [17]
Here all employees get equal amount as bonus, so the standard deviation of the employees income won't change. 
if you subtract or add equally to all the data then standard deviation won't change but mean and median would change.
