a sum of money is distributed among w , x , y , z in the proportion of 1 : 6 : 2 : 4 . if x gets $ 1500 more than y , what is the w ' s share ?
let the shares of w , x , y , z are 1 a , 6 a , 2 a , 4 a 6 a - 2 a = 1500 4 a = $ 1500 , a = 375 w ' s share = 1 a = $ 375 answer is c
divide(divide(1500, subtract(divide(6, 2), const_1)), 2)
