So we'll call Mary's share X.

Tom gets 2X, Frank gets 2X, and Mary gets X. Add them all up, and we have to get to $180.00.

So 2X + 2X + X =180

5X = 180

X = $36.

So Mary gets $36, Tom gets $72, and Frank gets $72. Mary gets 1/5 of the total.

Tom's Share = 2 * Mary's share
Frank's Share = 2 * Mary's share

So...

Total = 2 * Mary's share + 2 * Mary's share + Mary's share
= 5 * Mary's share

180 = 5 * Mary's share

Mary's share = 180/5
Mary's share = $36

Tom and Frank both get: $36 * 2 = $72


Mary's share is 1/5 of the total amount.
36/180
