A total of 129,000 is divided among 5 sons, 4 daughters, and 3 nephews. Each son gets 5 times, and each daughter gets 4 times the amount received by each nephew. What is the amount each nephew gets?
Answer: 2931.82
Explanation
Total amount = 129,000
-
People involved:
-
5 sons → each gets 5x
-
4 daughters → each gets 4x
-
3 nephews → each gets x
-
Let the amount each nephew gets be x
Now express the total amount in terms of x:
-
Nephews:
-
Daughters: 4×4x=16x
-
Sons: 5×5x=25x
-
Total = 3x+16x+25x=44x
Set up the equation:
44x=129000⇒x=129000/44=2931.8272
