Four
partners (Alonzo, Brenda, Camille, and Donald) are dividing a parcel of land valued at $240,000 among themselves using the lone divider method. Using a map, the divider divides the property
into four parcels; 5₁, 52, 53, and s4. The following table shows the value of the four parcels in the eyes of each partner, but some of the entries in the table are missing. What was Brenda's bid list?

Two construction companies, Giant and Sky, bid for the right to build in a field. The possible bids are $ 10 Million, $ 20 Million, $ 30 Million, S 35 Million and S 40 Million. The winner is the company with the higher bid. The two companies decide that in the case of a tie (equal bids), Giant is the winner and will get the field. Giant has ordered a survey and, based on the report from the survey, 1 concludes that getting the field for more than $ 35 Million is as bad as not getting it (assume loss), except in case of a tie (assume win) Sky is not aware of this survey.

Camila and Mark are going to divide a laptop and a computer desk using the Method of Sealed Bids. They place the following bids on the items.
Camila bids $235 on the laptop, and $69 on the desk.
Mark bids $56 on the laptop, and $45 on the desk.
Camila, with higher bids on both of them, will take both items. To make the division fair, how much money will she have to give to Mark?
