Sunday Times Teaser 2789 – Uncle’s Gift (2)
by Richard England
A number of pounds (less than fifty) is shared between Tom, Dick and Harry. Each receives a whole number of pounds with Harry receiving the least and Tom the most (although less than twice that received by Harry).
Each of their amounts, when expressed as a decimal fraction of the total, is a recurring sequence of three digits (i.e. 0.abcabc…). All of these decimals use the same three digits.
How much did Tom, Dick and Harry receive?
