Question

complete ques:
A man left one-fourth of his estate to his wife, one-fifth to each of his two sons, one-eight to his daughter and the remainder, an amount of P40, 500 to charity. Find the amount of the estate.

Answer 1

let total be x
now,
his wife's share= 1/4x
first son's = 1/5x
2ND =1/5x
daughter =1/8x
charity =40,500
A.T.S
1/4x+1/5x+1/5x+1/8x+40,500=x
10x+8x+8x+5x+1,620,000/40=x
31x+1,620,000=40x
31x-40x=-1620000
-9x=-1620000
x=1620000/9
x=180000
therefore the amount of estate is P180,000

Answer 2

Change to decimals. One quarter = 0.250
One fifth = 0.200 x 2
One eight = 0.125
Therefore sum left to relatives = 0.775
Sum of the remainder = 0.225 = P40,500
Divide P40,500 by .225 = P 1,80000

Therefore Estate valued at P 1,80000

Answer 3

amount given to charity=(1-1/4-2/5-1/8) fraction of the estate
9/40 of the value of the estate=40,500
value of the estate=40,500*40/9
=1,80,000

Answer 4

answer is 220000

1-(1/4+2/5+1/8)=40500
1-31/40=40500
9/40=40500
so the total value of the estate was 180000
