+108 Mark, Jordan, Kenny and Gabriel shared $168. Gabriel received 1/7 of the total amount of money received by Mark, Kenny and Jordan. Mark received 3/4 of the total amount of money received by Kenny and Jordan. Jordan received 2/5 as much as Kenny. How much must Kenny give to Jordan so that they would have the same amount of money?
+191 This isn't a question that could be solved very easily.
We try to list equations:
G = 1/7(M+K+J)
M = 3/4(K+J)
J = 2/5K
Let's Plug in:
M = 3/4(7/5K) = 21/20K,
G = 1/7(21/20K+K+2/5K) = 1/7(49/20K) = 7/20K
K = K
J = 2/5K
M = 21/20K
G = 7/20K
Now we split all of that $168 into these four parts. 4 parts combined is 56/20K, and thus K original has 168*20/56 = $60. J original has 168*8/56 = $24
Now you can do the last step: $60 - $X = $24 + $X
Hopefully this proved to be helpful
