Question

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?

Answer 1

If John pays his allowance equally to his brother and two sisters, there are a total of three siblings receiving money. To find out how much each of his siblings will receive, you can divide the total amount John pays by the number of siblings.

Let's say John pays x dollars.

Each sibling will receive x / 3 dollars because there are three siblings in total.

So, each of his siblings will have received x / 3 dollars in all.
