Question

Three friends got the prize money worth $273,000 the first friend would get four times the amount of the third portion the third friend would get four amount of the second friends portion determine that each friend recieve

Answer 1

Answer: Let's call the portions that the second friend gets "x". Then, the third friend gets four times that amount, which is 4x. Finally, the first friend gets four times the third friend's portion, which is 4(4x) = 16x.

The sum of the portions is equal to the total prize money of $273,000, so:

x + 4x + 16x = 273000

21x = 273000

x = 13000

So, the second friend gets $13,000, the third friend gets four times that amount, which is $52,000, and the first friend gets four times the third friend's portion, which is $208,000.
