D,how uneven was the son and daughters' share. the wife got 1/4 so 3/4 has to be divided by 2 but then it has to be done unevenly. So what is the difference between the kids.

Assuming "inconsistently" replaced into meant to be "frivolously"... His spouse were given .25, so as that left .seventy 5 for his 2 youthful little ones. If one were given $36000, so did the different, so .seventy 5 (seventy 5% of the entire) is an identical as $72000. So the question is "72000 is seventy 5 % of what?" Translate to math as 72000 = .seventy 5 * x remedy for x..... x = 72000 / .seventy 5 x = $96000
