Sean, Tim, Fred and Mark paid a total of $132 for a souvenir. Mark paid 3/8 of what the rest paid. Sean paid 20% of what the rest paid. Tim and Fred paid an equal amount of money. How much did Fred pay?

Question

….

Answer 1

First , rest paid = $132

Now , Mark paid 3/8 of what the rest paid. i.e.

rest paid = 132(1 - 3/8) = $82.5

and Sean paid 1/5 of what the rest paid. i.e.

rest paid = 82.5(1 - 1/5) = $66

Since , Tim and Fred paid an equal amount of money. i.e.

Fred paid = 66/2 = 33

Thus , Fred paid $33 amount of money.
