Question

A rock group with 5 musicians gets 25% of the gross sales
of their new album, but they have to give their agent 15%
of their share. If the album grosses $20,000,000, what
is each band member's share ?​

Answer 1

$Number \:of \: musicains\:in \\a \:rock \:group = 5$

$Total \:gross \:sales \:of \:the \:album\\ = \ 20,000,000$

$Shares \:of \:25\%:of \: gross \:sales = 25\% \times 20000000\\= \frac{25}{100} \times 20000000\\= \ 5000000$

$Shares \: of \: gross \:sales \\5 \: musicians \:get = \ 5000000$

/* According to the problem given */

$Share \:of \:the \:agent = 15\%$

$Remaining \: shares \: 5 \: musicians\:get \\= 5000000\Big( \frac{100-15)}{100} \Big)\\= 5000000 \times \frac{85}{100}\\= 50000\times 85 \\= \ 4250000$

$Now,\\ Each \:band \: member \:share = \frac{4250000}{5} \\= \ 850000$

Therefore.,

$\red {Each \:band \: member \:share}\green { =\ 850000}$
