SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around calculating the total money held by three individuals: John, Mike, and Felix, based on specific ratios derived from an initial amount of SGD24000. John's share is calculated as 2/5 of SGD24000, resulting in SGD9600. Mike's share, being 1/2 of John's money, amounts to SGD4800. Felix's share, calculated as 1/3 of Mike's money, totals SGD1600. The corrected total money held by all three individuals is SGD9600 + SGD4800 + SGD1600 = SGD16000.

hello all.

my question :

John's money = 2/5 from SGD24000
Mike's money = 1/2 from John's money
Felix's money = 1/3 from Mike's money

determine all (sum) money them?

i have tried :

for John's money = 24000 x 5/2 = 60.000
for Mike's money = 1/2 x 60000 = 30000
for Felix's money = 1/3 x 60000 = 10000

sum of total money = 60000+30000+10000 = 100000

do you have more simple step/formula? maybe with ratio approach..

thanks..

What does that mean?

Also: 1/3 * 60000 = 20000, NOT 10000
