Three friends own landscaping business. the number of hours each friend spent on the same project is hsown in the table below. in total, they earned $850 for the job. they put 15% of this amount into a joint savings account for furture expenses. they then divided the rest proportionally based on the number of hours each worked. how much money did shawn receive.

Note: There is no table below. I'm assuming the hours each one worked to divide the earnings. You can put your own numbers and solve your own problem

For Shane: 12*$722.50/34=$255

For Jane: 15*$722.50/34=$318.75

For Matthew: 7*$722.50/34=$148.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

It can be used to non-evenly distribute some quantity among n people, where each one deserves their share according to some common criteria. Let's think an amount of money M will be distributed among n people according to the number of hours each one worked for it. Let's assume each person worked some hours equal to a,b,c,d...k, where a+b+c+d+...k sum X. The fair distribution of M is:

For the first person: a.M/X

For the second person: b.M/X

For the third person: c.M/X

And so on. You can check the sum of all the shares is M

The question states three friends earned $850 in a common project. After putting 15% of it into a joint savings account, they divided the rest proportionally based on the number of hours each worked.

The amount to divide is 85% of their earnings since 15% will go to the bank

M=0.85*850=$722.50

The table is never shown, but let's assume the following

Shane worked 12 hours

Jane worded 15 hours

Matthew worked 7 hours

Total hours: X=34

The division will be

For Shane: 12*$722.50/34=$255

For Jane: 15*$722.50/34=$318.75

For Matthew: 7*$722.50/34=$148.75

the correct is answer is a 9-sided polygon!

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
