Question

In his will, Mr. Banks left 50% of the value of his property to his

wife, 22% to his daughter, 16% to his son, and the remaining
$30,000 to charity. What was the value of his property? Show work

Answer 1

.50 * x = 125,000.00

.22 * x = 55,000.00

.16 * x = 40,000.00

.12 * x = 30000

30000/.12 = 250,000.00

125000 + 55000 + 40000 + 30000 = 250000.00
