Explanation:

We have to find what one share is

we have 3 shares + 2 shares + 5 shares

so he have a total of 10 shares

next, we divide 50 by total shares to get what one share is

50 ÷ 10 = 5

5 is one share

fins what each is

for 3

3 shares so 3 fives

3 × 5 = 15

for 2

2 shares so 2 fives

2 × 5 = 10

and for 5

can you work it out and leave in the comments i will say if it is correct
