Please help ! i got through half the problem - i just can't figure out how to split the $2 to jay and kay. giving out brainliest !!

Jay, Kay, and Lee are hiking. Lee forgot to bring water. Jay brought 2 gallons of water and Kay brought 1.75 gallons of water. The three of them agree to divide all the water equally among them. Lee gives $2 for the water he receives, which Jay and Kay agree to divide fairly between the two of them. How much money should Jay receive?

The answer to your question is Jay will receive $1.07 and Kay will receive $0.93.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Jay brought 2 gallons

Kay brought 1.75 gallons

Money = $2

Process

1.- Calculate the total amount of water

Water = 2 + 1.75

          = 3.75 gallons

2.- Calculate the money Jay will receive using proportions

               3.75 gallons $2.00

               2      gallons    x

               x = (2 x 2) / 3.75

               x = 4/3.75

               x = $1.07

3.- Calculate the money Kay will receive using proportions

               3.75 gallons $2.00

               1.75 gallons   x

               x = (1.75 x 2.00) / 3.75

               x = 3.5/3.75

               x = $0.93

8+10

step-by-step explanation:

you multiply 4 by 2 and 5 by 2
