Our POTW this week is:

A sum of money is to be divided among three children.  Alex, Bogdan and Chai.  The money will be split as follows:
i) Alex receives $500 plus 1/5 of what remains.
ii) Bogdan receives $800 plus 1/4 of what remains; and
iii) Chai then receives the rest, which is $900
How much is the original sum of money?  Which child receives the most money?
