$Number \:of \: musicains\:in \\a \:rock \:group = 5$

$Total \:gross \:sales \:of \:the \:album\\ = \$ 20,000,000$

$Shares \:of \:25\%:of \: gross \:sales = 25\% \times 20000000\\= \frac{25}{100} \times 20000000\\= \$5000000$

$Shares \: of \: gross \:sales \\5 \: musicians \:get = \$ 5000000$

$Share \:of \:the \:agent = 15\%$

$Remaining \: shares \: 5 \: musicians\:get \\= 5000000\Big( \frac{100-15)}{100} \Big)\\= 5000000 \times \frac{85}{100}\\= 50000\times 85 \\= \$ 4250000$
