    Quinn values the apple pie at $4 and the chocolate cake at $10 = total $14

    since one "half" will only be chocolate, he needs $7 out of chocolate = 7/10 of the chocolate cake. the other "half" will include 3/10 of chocolate cake and the whole apple pie = (3/10 x $10) + $4 = $3 + $4 = $7

    If Dustin chooses the second "half" he will receive 3/10 of chocolate cake and the whole apple pie = (3/10 x $4) + $6 = $1.20 + $6 = $7.20
