The widow's legacy

[davanitz]

---

A gentleman who recently died left the sum of £8,000 to be divided among his widow, five sons, and four daughters. He directed that every son should receive three times as much as a daughter, and that every daughter should have twice as much as their mother.

What was the widow's share?

NOsebLeed man oie

[crimsonking]

8000=5 sons + 4 Daugther + mother
son=3daugther
daugther=2 mother
8000=15 daugther + 4 daugther + daugther/2
daugther=410.3
son=1230.8
mother or widow= 205.2

8000=1230.8(5) + 410.3(4) + 205.2
8000=6154 + 1641.2 + 205.2
8000=8000.4

are you nuts?

[iris_primsting]

x=son
y=daughter
z=mother

y=2z
z=y/2
x=3y

8000 = 5(3y) + 4y + y/2
8000 = 15y + 4y + y/2
8000 = 19.5y

y=8000/19.5 = 410.256
z = 8000/19.5/2 = 205.1282
x=3*8000/19.5 = 1230.769

so mother's share kay 205.128
