Solution

To divide the total of P10,000 fairly among myself and my two younger siblings, I would first divide the amount equally among the three of us, which would be P3,333.33 each. However, since we cannot have spare change, I would round down the amount to P3,333 for each person. This way, each of us would receive an equal share without any leftover money.
