Three workers

Three workers got paid for work. First earn € 50, the second € 100 and third € 60. For further work should receive together € 735. How do you divide that amount in order to be distributed in the same proportion as the first job?

Correct result:

a =  175 Eur
b =  350 Eur
c =  210 Eur

Solution:

s=735/(50+100+60)=72=3.5 a=50⋅ s=50⋅ 3.5=175 Eur
b=100⋅ s=100⋅ 3.5=350 Eur
c=60⋅ s=60⋅ 3.5=210 Eur
