( Show all workings) a man left the sum of #5720000 to be shared among his three daughters and his son.each daughter ‘s share was 3/4 of the son’s share. How much did the son receive .
Let x = son's share
3/4 x = daughter's share
3/4 x + 3/4 x + 3/4 x + x = 5720000
4x = 5720000
x = 5720000/4
x = 14300000
The son received 14300000.
sorry, I Know, but there were 3 daughters, as the bot recognized. Unfortunately, the bot's simple math was botched as usual.
so 13x = 5,720,000
x = 440,000
the son got 4x = 1,760,000
To find out how much the son received, we first need to determine the share of one daughter.
Let's assume that the son's share is 'x'.
According to the given information, each daughter's share is 3/4 of the son's share. So, the share of each daughter is (3/4) * x, or (3x)/4.
Taking all four shares into account, the total amount left by the man is the sum of the son's share and the daughters' shares:
Son's share + Three daughters' shares = #5,720,000
x + (3x)/4 = #5,720,000
To solve this equation, let's first multiply through by 4 to eliminate the fraction:
4x + 3x = #5,720,000 * 4
7x = #22,880,000
Now, let's solve for 'x' by dividing both sides of the equation by 7:
x = #22,880,000 / 7
x ≈ #3,268,571.43
Therefore, the son received approximately #3,268,571.43.
Wrong answer by the bot!!!
d : s = 3x : 4x
3x+4x = 5,720,000
7x = 5,720,000
x = 5,720,000/7 = 817,142.857
daughter gets 3x or 2,451,428.43
son gets 4x or 3,268,571.43
notice: 2451428.42 : 3268571.43 = .749999.. = .75 = 3 : 4
