MHB Money Question [Need Shortcut Way]

[zidan3311]

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..

John's money = 2/5 from SGD24000

What does that mean?

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