I) Benita received 1/5 of the amount:
1/5 x 300 = 60
Therefore, Benita's share is Gh¢60.00.
II) After Benita's share, the remainder is:
300 - 60 = 240
Osman received 5/12 of the remainder:
5/12 x 240 = 100
Therefore, Osman's share is Gh¢100.00.
III) The rest of the amount went to Henry:
240 - 100 = 140
Therefore, Henry's share is Gh¢140.00.
1/5 x 300 = 60
Therefore, Benita's share is Gh¢60.00.
II) After Benita's share, the remainder is:
300 - 60 = 240
Osman received 5/12 of the remainder:
5/12 x 240 = 100
Therefore, Osman's share is Gh¢100.00.
III) The rest of the amount went to Henry:
240 - 100 = 140
Therefore, Henry's share is Gh¢140.00.
