The ratio between Sarah and Emily is 6:4, or 3:2. If Sarah gets $15 more than Emily, then Sarah gets $45 and Emily gets $30.

Then the ratio between Pritam and Sarah is 3:6, or 1:2; Since Sarah gets $45, Pritam gets half as much, $22.50.

Pritam : Sarah : Emily P : E+15 : E 3 : 6 : 4

Use that to revise the ratio information:

Pritam : Sarah : Emily P : 45 : 30 3 : 6 : 4

More than one way to go for finding P.
