Question

Suppose your parents are traveling on a work-related trip for a whole week. They left you P10,000 as allowance for the week to be divided fairly among you and your two younger siblings. How would you divide the money, assuming that the amounts should be in whole pesos and with no spare change? Explain how you came up with your division in one sentence.

Answer 1

Answer:

The divison would be:

My two yonger siblings: P3000 Each

Me: P4000.

This idea came about due to the fact that, the eldest an the youngest siblings are not meant to receive equal amount of anything when it is shared among them.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the only logical way in which the P10,000 can be shared between me and my younger siblings in-order to obtain a whole pesos division and with no fractions. Anything aside this, would give room to involve spare change.
