Question

there is $20 thousand to be divided by 4 people, 1 gets 50 percent, 1 40 percent, 1 gets 30 percent and 1 gets 10 percent. how much will each get​

Answer 1

If there is $20,000 divided 4 people in the shares you have listed, each of their amounts are below:

$20,000 x .5 = $10,000

$20,000 x .4 = $8,000

$20,000 x .3 = $6,000

$20,000 x .1 = $2,000

The problem with this question is that your shares equal 130%, but you only have 100% to distribute.
