I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters. My mother said if we were good, we would get our allowance. The 5 of us were playing catch in the house. When I tried to catch the ball, I accidentally knocked over my mom's decorative vase and it broke. Needless to say that we did not get our allowance. It cost $50 to replace the vase. My brothers and sisters agreed to share the cost. How much did each person earn?


It's kind of silly, but that's all I can think of.
