Barry, Thomas and Emmanuel are to share a jar of 200 jelly beans. If Thomas takes 10%, and Barry and Emmanuel are to share the remainder in the ratio 4:5 respectively, how many jelly beans will Emmanuel get? Give me reasons, before answering the question

10% of 200 jelly beans is (10 / 100) * 200 = 20 jelly beans. Thomas takes 20 jelly beans leaving 200 - 20 = 180 jelly beans. 180 jelly beans are to be shared in the ratio 4:5 so each share is 180 / (4 + 5) = 20 jelly beans. Emmanuel gets 5 shares which is 5 * 20 = 100. So the final answer is 100.
