Answer: $10.50

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Mr. Frye distributed $126 equally among his 4 children for their weekly allowance. John, the oldest child, paid his siblings to do his chores. If John pays his allowance equally to his brother and two sisters, how much money will each of his siblings have received in all?

Amount distributed = $126

Number of children = 4

Each child gets = $126/4 = $31.5

If John pays his allowance equally to his brother and two sisters, the amount that each sibling will get will be:

= $31.5 / 3

= $10.50
