Question: Last year, Company X made q dollars in profit. Half of the profit went to the company's founder. The rest was split evenly among his Five other partners. In terms of q, how much did each of the other partners receive?
Options:
(A) q/12
(B) q/5
(C) q/10
(D) q/7
(E) q/8 Let's think first. Some random reasoning:
Profit = q
Profit to company founder = q/2
Profit to other partners = q/2
Number of other partners = 5
Profit to each partner = (q/2)/5 = q/10 The final answer: (C).
