When A and B sold one third of 8
apples, they sold 22-o, and had Is
left But they got the original capital
back, which should be divided 3 and s
cents respectively. Now b is entitled
to 3-S of 5 l-S apples, which would be
Q apples. But instead of eating 2 ap-
pies he eats one half Of 5 is, which
would be 22-3. So he eats 2.s OF an
apple more than his share, which would
be 2-3 Of one cent. This taken from
his three cents, his share received from
G, would leave him ais cents. Add
the 2.3 so taken to AS 5 cents, and the
answer will be, A 52-3, B21-3.
