    I believe that, if there are three brothers and each invested the same exact money to make a total of $33.00, each brother would have invested $11.

    Jonathan's was different, as he invested 2/5. 11 divided by 2 is 5.5, in which 5.5*11 would equal 27.50.

    The rest was simply their denominator times $11.

    Jared had $33 dollars before the investment, and Justin has $44.
