Hey there! :)
Answer:
$3600.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the wife received $6000 which is a quarter of the money, solve for the total amount of the fortune:
1/4x = 6000
Multiply both sides by 4:
x = $24000
We can begin by subtracting the wife's amount from the total:
24000 - 6000 = $18000
He has 3 sons and 4 daughters. Let 'x' represent the amount the daughters received, and '2x' the amount the sons received.
18000 = 3(2x) + 4(x)
Distribute and combine the terms:
18000 = 6x + 4x
18000 = 10x
Divide both sides by 10:
18000/10 = 10x/10
x = $1800. This is the amount that each daughter receives. Since the sons receive '2x':
2(1800) = $3600.
Answer:
He have 3 sons, 4 daughters and his wife.
His wife got $6000 from his fortune which is 1/4th of his fortune.
So.. 1/4x=$6000
Multiply both by 4, 1/4 multiply by 4 is 4/4=1,
So.. 1x=$24000
Now subtract the wife's share from the fortune
$24000-$6000=$18000
His have 3 sons and 4 daughters left, and his each son got twice more than each daughter
So... 18000=3(2x) +4(x)
18000 =6x +4x
18000=10x
x=18000÷10
=$1800 which is for each daughter
his each son got twice as much as each daughter
So.. 2 multiply by $1800
which is $3600.
so each son got $3600
If you are still not sure then add all the shares together
3(3600)+ 4(1800)+ 6000
=10800 +7200+ 6000
=$24000.
THERE YOU HAVE IT, THE ANSWER IS $3600
NGL even I didn't now but I got it from the answer above
So all the credit goes to the person who answered before me
