weekly savings: 20 x 39 weeks = 780

additional fund: 780 + 100 = 880

bought clothes and sports gear = 880 - 314.23 = 565.77

bought his mom a present = 565.77 - 123 = 442.77

divide the rest equally among his 3 brothers = 442.77 / 3 = 147.59

Answer: If we divide the remaining in 3 brothers, then the money receives by each brother =  \(\$147.49\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The amount Graham puts in his piggy bank every week = $20

At the end of 39 weeks, the amount in piggy bank=\(39\times\$20+\$100=\$\ 780+\$\ 100=\$\ 880\)

Total spending =\(\$314.23+\$123.3=\$437.53\)

The money left after shopping = \(\$880-\$437.53=\$442.47\)

If we divide the remaining in 3 brothers, then the money receives by each brother =  \(\$442.47\div3=\$147.49\)
