Let C - total rest of the flat
x - Adam's savings
y - Bill's savings
z - Carl's savings
Thus we know
C = 1/2x + 6/7y + 3/4z
Where 1/2x = 4/7y = 3/4z
Because the three of them shared the cost equally.
Now, y + z - 6/7y - 3/4z = 44,820
1/7 + 1/4z = 44,820,
Since 6/7y = 3/4z,
z = 4/7 (y)
z = 8/7y
Hence,
1/7y + 1/4 (y) = 44,820
1/7 + 2/7y = 44,820
3/7y = 44,820
y = 7/3 (44,820)
y = 104,580
Since z = 8/7y
z = 8/7 (104,580)
z = 119,520
Also,
Since 1/2x = 6/7y,
x = 2(6/7)y
x = 12/7y
x = 12/7 (104,580)
x = 179,280
Now, the total cost of the flat is
C = 1/2x + 6/7y + 3/4z
C = 1/2 (179,280) + 6/7 (104,580) + 3/4 (119,520)
C = 89,640 + 89,640 + 89,640
C = 268,920
Thus, the answers should be
(a) $268,920
(b) Adam's savings: $179,280
Bill's saving: $104,580
Carl's savings: $119,520
