Answer:

Pritam gets $22.50

Explanation:

Ratios

Pritam =3

Sarah=6

Emily=4

The ratio between Sarah and Emily = 6:4

=3:2

If Sarah gets $15 more than Emily

Then,

Sarah gets $45

Emily gets $30.

The ratio between Pritam and Sarah = 3:6

= 1:2

Since Sarah gets $45,

Pritam gets half as much= $45 / 2

=$22.50
