Bob has £500 and gives 70% to Edmund and 40% of what is left to George. Work out how much money each person has.

Follow the order of the question-  take 70% of £500 = 7 times 10% of £500 = 7x£50 = £350.

Therefore Edmund has £350.

Bob now has £500-£350=£150. This needs to be split between Bob and George. 

Using the same method we can get 4x£150= £60 for George. 

Bob keeps the remaining amount of £90
