First, let's get rid of the unneeded info.

Oldest brother has $108 (3/5 the total)
Youngest brother has $x (1/10 the total)

Next let's find out the total. We do this by multiplying the oldest brothers money by 5/3 (the reciprocal).

108 × (5/3) = 180.

So the total amount of money is $180.

Finally, do 180 × (1/10) to find the youngest brother's amount.

180 × (1/10) = 18.

The youngest brother has $18.

Answer:

The youngest brother has ----> \$18

The third brother has -------->  \$54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the total money

we know that

The oldest brother has ----> \frac{3}{5}x -----> \frac{6}{10}x

The youngest brother has ----> \frac{1}{10}x

The third brother has ----> 1-(\frac{6}{10}x+\frac{1}{10}x)=\frac{3}{10}x

\frac{3}{5}x=108 ----> given problem

Solve for x

x=108*5/3=\$180

so

The youngest brother has ----> \frac{1}{10}(180)=\$18

The third brother has -------->  \frac{3}{10}(180)=\$54

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

D) had been trained over the past two years and that they had

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context, the sentence speaks of something that happened in the past, so 'had been' is required and also it speaks of parallelism of events, as an estimation is being made so,  parallelism should be maintained.

Hence, option (D) satisfies the two requirements. And eliminate option A, B, C and E.

Thus, (D) is correct.
