If a gang of eight rob a bank, what percent of the loot belongs to three of the robbers? what percent belongs to them if two of the gang are killed? by what percent does each robber’s share increase?

To answer the first question, you must divide 100 by 8, and then multiply again by 3.

100 / 8 = 12.5

12.5 x 3 = 37.5

37.5% of the loot belongs to three of the robbers.

If two members are killed, you divide 100 by 6.

100 / 6 = 16.67

16.67 x 3 = 50

50% of the loot belongs to three of the robbers in this case.

With each two members killed, one member's share increases by 22.5%, or, with each individual member killed, one member's share increases by 11.25%. Hope this helped!
