A have 1/3 of what B,C,D have. --> A have 1/4 of the total money.
B has 1/4 of what A,C,D have. --> B has 1/5 of total money
C has 1/5 of what A,B,D have. --> C has 1/6 of total money.
Amount of money D has =1-(1/4)-(1/5)-(1/6)
= 23/60 of total money.
23 units = $2990
1 unit = $130
60 units = $130 × 60
=$7800

I tink kids can assume its the same. I proved it using algebra tho, before using the units thing.

The question does not mention that there are equal number of forks and spoons. Logical, but ......
Since Zach gave 3/8 of his books away, he Is left with 5/8.
5/8 of Zach = 180
8/8 of Zach = 288
Since Sam gave 1/6 of his books away, he Is left with 5/6.
However, he received 108 books from Zach (288-180)
218 - 108 = 110
5/6 of Sam = 110
6/6 of Sam = 132
585-288-132 = 165
