<PRE><B>Question 1209045</B>
.
If I give my brother $5$ dollars, then we will have the same amount of money.  If instead he gives me 
$12$ dollars, then I&#39;ll have four times as much money as he will have.  How much money does my brother 
currently have (in dollars)?

As worded, &amp;nbsp;printed, &amp;nbsp;posted and presented, &amp;nbsp;this problem is mathematically &amp;nbsp;FATALLY &amp;nbsp;DEFECTIVE,

since it has no a precise solution in integer number of cents.


In such problems, &amp;nbsp;their meaning &amp;nbsp;ALLWAYS &amp;nbsp;assumes a precise solution; &amp;nbsp;approximate solutions 

with non-integer number of cents are not appropriate, &amp;nbsp;are not accepted and can not be accepted.
