Three brothers live in a farm. They agreed to buy new seeds: Adam and Ben would go and Charlie stayed to protect fields. Ben bought 75 sacks of wheat in the market whereas Adam bought 45 sacks. At home, they split the sacks equally. Charlie had paid 1400 dollars for the wheat. How much dollars did Ben and Adam get of the sum, considering equal split of the sacks?

what do you think it is?

brooke2353 · Answer

UGHH i think  Ben spent $1225 and Adam spent $175

dm91 · Answer

okay you have $1400 that the spent total

dm91 · Answer

Ben spent the most because he got 75 sacks

brooke2353 · Answer

so then Every farmer's part is 1/3(45+75) = 40 sacks. 
 Charlie paid $1400 for 40 sacks, then 1 sack costs $1400/40 = $35/sack.

Adam got $35*(45-40)=35*5 = $175. 
 Ben got $35*(75-40)=35*35 = $1225
