If the 35% share is divided among the remaining 6 people, then:
Person with 40%: Increase of 21.54% to 61.54%, or $153,846.09
Person with 6%: Increase of 3.23% to 9.23%, or $23,076.91
Person with 6%: Increase of 3.23% to 9.23%, or $23,076.91
Person with 5%: Increase of 2.69% to 7.69%, or $19,230.76
Person with 5%: Increase of 2.69% to 7.69%, or $19,230.76
Person with 3%: Increase of 1.62% to 4.62%, or $11,538.46
Total distribution: $249,999.89
