Two brothers have inherited their parents' 5 piece art collection. According to the will, the older brother will get a set of paintings worth twice what the younger brother gets.
In order to ascertain the value of the paintings, the brothers called in an appraiser, who valued each painting as shown below. For his services, the appraiser was promised the one painting left over after the brothers divided the art according to the parents' wishes.
Assuming that individual paintings cant be divided, which one does the appraiser get?
**Bonus** Which paintings do each of the brothers end up with?
Painting A = $20,000
Painting B = $60,000
Painting C = $55,000
Painting D = $45,000
Painting E= $95,000
