Answer 1

Answer:

The company receives $595,333.333.

The plumber receives $297,666.667.

Each the electrician and the auxiliary workers receive $446,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount is $1,786,000.

Company:

The company receives $\frac{4}{4 + 2 + 3 + 3} = \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}$ of the total amount. So

$\frac{1*1786000}{3} = 595333.333$

The company receives $595,333.333.

Plumber:

$\frac{2}{4 + 2 + 3 + 3} = \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6}$ of the total amount. So

$\frac{1*1786000}{6} = 297666.667$

The plumber receives $297,666.667.

Electrician and the auxiliary workers:

Each receives $\frac{3}{4 + 2 + 3 + 3} = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$ of the total amount. So

$\frac{1*1786000}{4} = 446500$

Each the electrician and the auxiliary workers receive $446,500.
