Answer:
The (piece, perceived values) are ...
- Cindy, (3, 48%)
- Jamal, (1, 39%)
- Monique, (2, 33%)
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the values and questions are as shown in the attachment.
1. After the division, Cindy bids only on piece 3, and Jamal bids only on piece 1. Hence the appropriate final division is ...
Cindy: piece 3
Jamal: piece 1
Monique: piece 2
__
2. Monique divides the land so that the value of each piece to her is 33 1/3%. That is her perceived value for the piece she gets.
We will get the number of possible selections, and then subtract the number less than 25 cents.
We can choose the number of dimes 5 ways 0,1,2,3 or 4.
We can choose the number of nickels 4 ways 0,1,2 or 3.
We can choose the number of quarters 3 ways 0,1, or 2.
That's 5*4*3 = 60 selections
Now we must subtract from the 60 the number of selections of coins that are less than 25 cents. These will involve only dimes and nickels.
To get a selection of coin worth less than 25 cents:
If we use no dimes, we can use 0,1,2 on all 3 nickels.
That's 4 selections less than 25 cents. (that includes the choice of No coins at all in the 60, which we must subtract).
If we use exactly 1 dime , we can use 0,1,2, or all 3 nickels.
That's the 3 combinations less than 25 cents.
And there is 1 other selection less than 25 cents, 2 dimes and no nickels.
So that's 4+3+1 = 8 selections which we must subtract from the 60.
Answer 60-8 = 52 selections of coins worth 25 cents or more.
