Eight people rob a bank:

What percent of the loot belongs to three people if they decide to share it evenly

Strange question!

3/8 = 0.375 = 37.5%

To determine what percentage of the loot belongs to three people if they decide to share it evenly, we first need to know the total number of people involved in the robbery and the amount of loot obtained.

Given that eight people participated in the robbery, we can calculate the percentage of the loot belonging to three people by dividing the share of these three individuals by the total amount stolen and then multiplying by 100.

Now, let's assume that the total loot stolen from the bank is X. Since the three people have decided to share it evenly, we can divide the total loot by the number of people sharing it to find the share per person.

The share per person would be X divided by 8 (since there are eight people in total). So the share per person would be X/8.

Since we want to calculate the percentage owned by three people, we multiply their share (X/8) by 3 (as there are three people). Thus, the share of these three individuals would be (3 * (X/8)).

Finally, to find the percentage, we divide their share by the total loot (X) and multiply by 100. This can be expressed as ((3 * (X/8)) / X) * 100.

Simplifying this equation will give us the desired result. However, I require the exact value of the loot stolen from the bank (X) in order to provide you with the precise percentage. Please provide the value of the loot, and I'll be happy to calculate the answer for you.
