Solution
Correct Answer: Option E
Tom:Dick:Harry => 100:60:40 => 5:3:2 The total bill was for 104+16 = $120
We can write this as: 5x + 3x + 2x = 120 => 10x = 120 => x = 12 So we can now find out how much each person contributed towards the final total bill. So Tom paid: 5 * 12 = 60 Dick paid 3 & 12 = 36 Harry paid 2 * 12 = 24
Therefore Tom paid $(60 - 24) = $36 more than Harry.
