Step-by-step explanation:

Three brothers live in a farm. They agreed to buy new seeds: Adam and Ben would go and Charlie stayed to protect fields. Ben bought 75 sacks of wheat in the market whereas Adam bought 45 sacks. At home, they split the sacks equally. Charlie had paid 1400 dollars for the wheat

Total sack bought = 75 + 45 = 120 sacks

Each get = 120/3 = 40 Scaks

Charlie got 40 sack

Amount paid for 40 sacks = $ 1400

Amount of 1 sack = 1400/40 = 35 $

Adam bought = 45 sack

Adam got money for 45 - 40 = 5 sacks

Adam got = 5 * 35 = 175 $

Ben bought = 75 sacks

Ben got money for 75 - 40 = 35 sacks

Ben got = 35 * 35 = $ 1225

Ben got = $ 1225

Adam got = $ 175
