Question

One of your clients at Wills, & Estates law, PLLC passed away. His estate is worth $72,000. He leaves half to charity, and 1/8 to each of his four children. How much will each child receive?

Answer 1

`\$9,000`

Step-by-step explanation

We have that the estate is $72,000 leaving half to charity and 1/8 to each of his four children.

To find the amount that each child will receive, we have to find 1/8 of $72,000.

That is:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(8)\cdot\$72,000 \\ \Rightarrow\$9,000 \end{gathered}`

That is how much each child will receive.
