Question

HELP!

Ruben, Shelly, and Malcolm have recorded a hit song. Ruben gets 2/5 of the income, Shelly gets 1/3, and Malcolm gets the rest. If they earn $300,000, how much does Malcolm earn?

Answer 1

$ 80,000

Explanation:

2/5 + 1/3 = (6 + 5)/15 = 11/15

15/15 - 11/15 = 4/15

4/15 of 300,000

4/15 x 300,000 = 1,200,000/15 = 80,000
