Ratio of hours worked
Makoto : Nishi : Ozuro = 15 : 20 : 30
15 + 20 + 30 = 65
So, Makoto receives 15/65 of the total payment
Simplify to see that Makoto receives 3/13 of the total payment
3/13 of $780 = (3/13)($780) = $180

Also,
M + N + O= 780
15x + 20x + 30x = 780
65x = 780
x = 12
M= 15x
M = 15 *12 = 180
