Three friends sakthi, samy and Charlie divide $1010 amongs them in such a way that if $6, $8 and $10 are removed from the sums that sakthi, samy and Charlie received respectively, then the share of the sums that they got will be in the ratio of 4 : 8 : 6. How much did Charlie receive?
Choose the correct option:  A) $316  B) $326  C) $331  D) $336  E) $334
Explanatory Answer   Let the sums of money received by A, B and C be x, y and z respectively.   Then x - 6 : y - 8 : z -10 is 4a : 8a : 6a   When $6, $8 and $10 are removed, we are removing a total of $24 from $1010.   Therefore, 4a + 8a + 6a = 1010 - 24= 
<gadget id="calculator">1010 - 24</gadget>
<output>986</output>
986   i.e., 18a= 986   or a =55 .   We know that z - 6 = 6a =6 * 55= 
<gadget id="calculator">6 * 55</gadget>
<output>330</output>
330   Therefore, z= 330 + 6= 
<gadget id="calculator">330 + 6</gadget>
<output>336</output>
$336   The correct choice is ($336)
<result>D</result>
