Charity or Party? (Posted on 2003-03-23) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A number of us went out together to a charity fete one day. Our party consisted of four different professional groups, namely – 25 writers, 20 doctors, 18 dentists and 12 bank employees. We spent altogether Rs. 1330.

Later it was found that 5 writers spent as much as 4 doctors, that 12 doctors spent as much as 9 dentists and that 6 dentists spent as much as 8 bank employees.

[Or, in other words: "A Writer spent (4/5) times the amount spent by a Doctor, a Doctor spent (3/4) times the amount spent by a Dentist and a Dentist spent (4/3) times the amount spent by a Bank Employee].

How much did each of the four professional groups spend ?
