Question

Write the expression and solve the given problems.

 

A bank distributes 1,000 among two groups equally. Later, the first part is divided among five persons and second part

is divided among two brothers. Give the expression that represents how the money distribution between two groups was dispersed

Answer 1

Ok this problem is straightforward:

 

- Let's call the initial amount (1,000) that the bank distributes P

 

Each group gets 1/2 P

 

The first group gets 1/5 of that 1/2 P, so (1/2)(1/5)P=P/10 for each person in the first group = 100

 

The second group gets 1/2 of the 1/2 P, so (1/2)(1/2)P=P/4 for each brother in the second group =250
