Four mice: White, Gray, Fat, and Thin were dividing a cheese wheel. They cut it into 4 apparently identical slices. Some slices had more holes, so Thin's slice weighed 20 grams less than Fat's slice, and White's slice weighed 8 grams less than Gray's slice. However, White wasn't upset because his slice weighed exactly one-quarter of the total cheese weight.

Gray cut 8 grams from his piece, and Fat cut 20 grams from his piece. How should the 28 grams of removed cheese be divided so that all mice end up with equal amounts of cheese? Don't forget to explain your answer.
