If Bill got 1/3, then the $40 is 2/3.
(2/3)x = 40
x = 60
60 + 6 = 66
Bill got $66.

A sum of money is to be divided between Amanda, Bill, and Carol. Amanda receives $1 plus 1/3 of what is left. Bill then receives $6 plus 1/3 of what remains. Carol receives the rest, which amounts to $40. How much money did Bill receive?
