If they get shares of x,y,z, respectively, then
x = 2/3 y
y = 1/4 z
x+y+z = 1360
We want to know what y is, so substitute in for x and z:
2/3 y + y + 4y = 1360
17/3 y = 1360
y = 240
x = 2/3 y
y = 1/4 z
x+y+z = 1360
We want to know what y is, so substitute in for x and z:
2/3 y + y + 4y = 1360
17/3 y = 1360
y = 240
