Question

Anne, Scott and Beth won $300 in a lottery. The jackpot will be divided among them based on their money they put towards the ticket. Thus, Anne should get 30% of the jackpot and Scott gets 1/4 of the winnings. How much money should Beth get?

Answer 1

Answer: Beth should get $135

Explanation:

Money won in the lottery by Anne, Scott and Beth =$300

Amount necessary for Anne = 30% X 300

=$90

Amount necessary to Scott =1/4 X 300

=$75

Therefore Beth should get the remainder=Total money won -(Amount necessary to Anne and Scott)

=$300-(90+75)

=$300-$165

=$135
