We know that from the story problem
A = .5B
C = 120
Total = 500
Therefore we can make an equation
a + b + c = 500
Substitute
.5b + b + 120 = 500
1.5b = 380
B = $253.33 (380 / 1.5)
A = $126.67 (1/2 B)
C = $120.00 (fixed)
Total = $500.00

Person B gets 253.33 and Person A gets 126.66
380=x+.5x
380=1.5x
253.33=x
x=B
.5x=A
