a sum of money is distributed among w , x , y , z in the proportion of 4 : 2 : 5 : 3 . if y gets $ 500 more than z , what is the x ' s share ?
"let the shares of w , x , y , z are 4 a , 2 a , 5 a , 3 a 5 a - 3 a = 500 2 a = 500 , a = 250 x ' s share = 2 a = $ 500 answer is b"
divide(divide(500, subtract(divide(2, 5), 4)), 5)
