the girl is 13 years old and the boy is 12 years old, how much will each get?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Niece is 13 years old

The nephew is 12 years old

the summation of their ages is 25

if $2000 was shared among them

The Niece:

13/25 x 2000/1

0.54 x 2000 = $1040

Nephew:

0.48 x 2000

= $960
