Suppose your parents are traveling on a work-related trip for a whole week. They left you P10,000 as allowance for the week to be divided fairly among you and your two younger siblings. How would you divide the money, assuming that the amounts should be in whole pesos and with no spare change? Explain how you came up with your division in one sentence.

This idea came about due to the fact that, the eldest an the youngest siblings are not meant to receive equal amount of anything when it is shared among them.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the only logical way in which the P10,000 can be shared between me and my younger siblings in-order to obtain a whole pesos division and with no fractions. Anything aside this, would give room to involve spare change.

The amount each person gets from P10,000 in whole pesos and with no spare change is P4,000, P,3000 and P3,000 respectively.

Total amount given as allowance = P10,000

Number of people to share it = 3

1 older and 2 younger siblings

Let

the older sibling get P4,000

Each younger sibling gets P3,000

Each person gets a whole value of pesos without a remainder in the total allowance given.

Therefore, the amount each person gets from P10,000 is P4,000, P,3000 and P3,000
