Maria and Pedro must divide two pets - a cat and a dog - and a savings account. They decide to use the Adjusted Winner procedure, and each of them assigns a total of 100 points, to be split among the three items.
Maria assigns 55 points to the dog, 8 points to the cat, and the rest of her points to the savings account. Pedro assigns 9 points to the dog, 75 points to the cat, and the rest of his points to the savings account.
With those point assignments, Maria will get the dog, Pedro will take the cat, and they will split the savings. What percentage of the savings account will Maria get?

HELP!

What does Maria have for the saving account?
M = 100 - 55 - 8 = 37
What does Pedro have for the saving account?
P = 100 - 9 - 75 = 16

So there are a total of 53 points for the saving account where Maria has 37 parts of the 53 and Pedro has 16 parts of the 53.
