Answer:

bispha gets 10

Explanation:

let total money be x

Alan gets 1/8 of x = x/8

bispha gets 1/2 of x =x/2

rest of the money = total -shared money

shared money = x/8 + x/2


= (x + 4x)/(8) = (5x)/(8)

rest = x - 5x/8= 3x/8

Chan share = 3x/8

Alan = x/8

2.50 = x/8

x= 2.50×8= 20

total money is 20

bispha gets x/2 =20/2=10
