First let's define variables:
r: reading
s: skimming
We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem:
r + s = 275
(15/10) r + (10/15) s = 355
We solve the system of equations:
r = 206
s = 69
Note: see attached image for system solution.

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.
