Assuming they split the loot equally among themselves, the percent that belongs to three robbers is the total amount of loot divided by eight, multiplied by three:

100 / 8 * 3 = 37.5

To find the percentage if two gang members are killed, you would calculate one hundred percent of the loot divided by the quantity eight minus two (to account for the two dead gang members), multiplied by 3:

100 / (8 - 2) * 3 => 100 / 6 * 3 = 50

To find the percent increase, subtract the smaller percentage (original number) from the larger percentage (new number), then divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by one hundred.

50 - 37.5 = 12.5

% increase = 12.5 / 37.5 * 100
% increase = 33.3333

The percent of the loot that belongs to three robbers is 37.5 percent.
50 percent belongs to them if two of the gang members are killed.
Each robber's share increases by 33.33 percent.

Hope this helps!

Answer from: kalo1023

With 8 members, each robber will get 12.5% of the total amount they rob from the bank. After two members are killed, each robber will get 16.67% of the share which is 4.17% more than the initial share with 8 members.

The gang of 8 thieves robs the bank.

Let x be the total amount they rob.

So, each person will be $\dfrac{x}{8}$ amount.

Now, the percentage of amount which belongs to each robber will be,

$\dfrac{(x/8)}{x}\times 100=12.5\%$

So, each robber will get 12.5% of the total amount they rob from the bank.

Now, if two members are killed. The members left will be 6.

So, the percentage of share each will get will be,

$\dfrac{x/6}{x}\times 100=16.67\%$

So, after two members are killed, each robber will get 16.67% of the share which is 4.17% more than the initial share with 8 members.
