Problem of the Day
Classic Mustangs
None of us really got along as
friends, but we shared several things in common. We had some joint business dealings and a
love of old Mustangs. We only liked the
ones from 1964 ½ through the 1968 model year.
When we found out that the collection of Mustangs from the Sparks Auto
Museum was going to be
auctioned off, we put our minds and our money together. Instead of bidding against each other, we
decided to bid as a group on each Mustang available. We set a maximum price we would bid, and
quite frankly, none of us had any favorites, we loved them all equally. We also agreed to divide “out take” as
follows: half to Travis because he was usually
the big money on our projects, ¼ to Sandra as she was usually the brains that
got things done, and I was to get a 1/6 share.
In the end we were the winning bidders on 11 Mustangs. How many Mustangs does each of us get?
