.
A sum of $25,000 is divided among Peter, Queen and Raymond.
Raymond received half, Peter receives $3,125 and Queen receives the remainder.
Calculate the ratio in which the $25,000 was divided.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Raymond received half of $25,000, which is $12,500.


Peter received $3,125.


Queen received the remainder, which is 25000-12500-3125 = 9,375 dollars.


These numbers are in proportion P : Q : R = 3,125 : 9,375 : 12,500 = 1 : 3 : 4.


The common factor is  3,125.
