~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It should be 7 equal parts (3+4 = 7) in total.

So, divide $2500.00 into 7 equal parts and give 3 parts to Chit and 4 parts to Nap.

If it makes you confused, remember that the numbers are yours.

Formally speaking, the solution is impossible.

But if you allow the parts to be slightly unequal . . .
