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.
