Worked solution

1. Calculate the total allowance of the 3 siblings

$\text{Total allowance} = 3 \times 34 = \char36{}102$

2. Calculate the total allowance of the other two siblings

$\text{Total for the other two} = 102 - 50 = \char36{}52$

3. Calculate the allowance of each of the other two siblings

$\text{Allowance of each} = 52 \div 2 = \char36{}26$
