Hi!

To find the fraction of the payment owed to Shawn, we just need to divide the hours he's worked by the total number of hours the three of them worked.



of the payment is therefore owed to Shawn.

Since the three friends deposited 15% of the money they earned to a joint savings account, they will only have 85% of their earnings to keep. Solving for this amount we'll get:



We then find Shawn's share by multiplying $722.50 by .



ANSWER: Shawn received $209.53.
