Money received by men = (16/16+21)×240

= 103

Money received by women = (240-103)

= 137

Money received by each men = 4y and each women = 3y

x(4y) = 103 (77-x) (3y) = 137

y = 45/77-x

=> x×4×45/77-y =103

=> 180x/77-x =103

=> 180x =103(77-x)

=> 180x = 7931 - 103x

=> 283x = 7931

=> x = 28 Answer
