Cool Al Barb Cal Di and Ed
Together Al, Barb, Cal, Di, and Ed earned a total of $150, but in unequal amounts. In order to equalize their earnings exactly, Barb gave half (1/2) her earnings to Al. Next Cal gave 1/3 of his earnings to Barb. Then Di gave 1/4 of her earnings to Cal. Finally Ed gave 1/6 of his earnings to Di. How many dollars did Al earn before equalization?

This one just a little bit of thinking and you shoudl be able to get it

Have Fun
