You can put this solution on YOUR website!
she makes 60,000 php.

she spend 2/5 * 60,000 php = 24,000 php.

she has 36,000 php left.

she save half of this, so she saves 18,000 php.

she shares the other half between her 2 sisters and 1 brother.

they each get 18,000 / 3 = 6,000 php.

her brother gets 6,000 php due to the pandemic every month.

that's your solution if i understood the problem correctly.
