Solution:

We can let Arthur’s total fortune be $100. Thus each child received $20. Now, let’s determine the amount of money each child has after 2 years.

Alice: 20 x 1.5 x 1.1 = $33

Bob: $33 (since his numbers are identical to those of Alice)

Carol: 20 x 1.5 x 0.4 = $12

Dave: 20 x 0.6 x 1.25 = $15

Errol: $0 (since he lost all of his money)

Therefore, the total they have after 2 years is 33 + 33 + 12 + 15 + 0 = $93, which is 93% of $100.
