Anya, Ben, and Clara were paid a total of $520 for organizing supplies at a community health camp. Each was paid in proportion to the number of days he or she worked. If Anya worked 12 days, Ben worked 16 days, and Clara worked 24 days, how much was Ben paid?

The total payment is divided in the proportion to the number of days worked, giving a ratio of 12 to 16 to 24 for Anya, Ben, and Clara. This ratio simplifies to 3 to 4 to 6, making the total number of parts 13. Ben's share is 4 divided by 13, multiplied by \$520, which equals \$160.
