Today's Question - Joe Internet has just met a venture capitalist. The VC person has given him lots of dough. Joe I. wants to give a portion to 10 key employees.

Mr. Internet divides the $100,000 among these employees with the most senior getting the most and the newest the least. The increment between each increment is the same dollar amount. If the third newest employee gets $6,000, how much does each of the employees get?
