You state: "A crew consists of one apprentice."
.
If a crew consists of one apprentice, then the apprentice earned all the money.
.
To solve the problem you need to know how many people are involved.
.
For example, if there were 1 journeyman and 1 master and 1 apprentice on the crew, then it could be solved. But suppose the crew was 5 journeymen, 15 masters, and 1 apprentice. The money each earns would be vastly different.
.
So, there is no solution to the problem as stated.
