Remember the following:
highlight%28A%29ndre
highlight%28K%29amwi
highlight%28W%29erner
1) Andre drove 1%2F8 of the total 2400km:
= %281%2F8%29%282400km%29 = 300km, driven by Andre
2) If Kamwi drove 1000km, therefore %281000%2F24000%29100=41.6, 42% driven by K
3) W= Total km - A - K= 2400km-300km-1000km=1100km, driven by Werner
Then, = 1100km%2A%282.50%2Fkm%29=$2750 paid to Werner
