5 sisters own one property if 2 sell their share to one of the sister. How will the property be divided?

Question

Does one sister have 2/3 and the others 1/3?

Answer 1

Each sister starts with 20%.

The one buying others's shares has 20% + 20% + 20% = 60%.

The remaining two sisters who neither bought nor sold still each have 20%.

Answer 2

One sister owns 60% and 2 others own 20% each, the same as they did before.

Answer 3

Cool...a real live story problem.  Right now you each have one fifth (1/5) interest.  If 2 sell their shares to 1, she will then have 3/5ths interest and the two others will still have 1/5 each.  

I do hope I get a gold star on this one.  Good luck!

Answer 4

Each sister has 1/5 or .20 if one buys out 2 of them then she gets another .2+.2 or .4 for total holdings of .6 therefore she now owns .6 or 3/5 and the other 2 still have 1/5 each.
