There is a $500 prize to share among them. Ms. Cardillo’s class brought in 3,107 pop can tabs. Ms. Camming’s class collectected 1,097 pop can tabs. Mr. Lucas’ class brought in 2,347 pop can tabs. How should they divide the money so that each class gets the same fraction of the prize money as the fraction of pop can tabs that they collected?
