What we need to understand :
Even though they split the boxes equally, their payments will be according to their contribution.
Splitting them equally would mean splitting them into two equal groups but this doesn't change the fact that they brought different amounts of boxes.
We can get each one's payment using the contribution ratio.
Let B represent Batman and W wolverine.
B : W = 75 : 45 = 5 : 3
The total payment = $ 1400
B ' s payment = 5 / 8 × 1400 = $ 825
W' s payment = 3 / 8 × 1400 = $ 525
