    James, Ashley, and Nicole, all siblings, have collectively won a total of 340 redemption prize points. Their mother, Kathy, decides how the points will be split amongst the three children. She says that james and Ashley have behaved very poorly today, though james behaved even worse then Ashley. Kathy asks you to split the points such that james receives 40 points fewer than Ashley and that Ashley receives 80 points fewer than Nicole. How many points does each child receive?
