Question

zeetu left one-third of his property to his son,one-fourth to his daughter and the remainder to his wife.If his wife's share is $18000 what was the worth of his total property?

Answer 1

Zeetu's property is $ 43,200.

Explanation:

Son = 1/3 x

Daughter = 1/4 x

The equation we obtained here

x = 18,000+ 1/3 x + 1/4 x

x = 18000+ (4+3)/12 x

x - 7/12 x = 18,000

5/12 x = 18,000

x/12 = 18,000 /5

x/12 = 3,600

x = 43,200

Answer 2

hello friend,here is the solution
let the whole property be' x '

Property given to his son = 1/3 x

Property given to daughter = 1/4 x

The equation we obtained here
=================================
x = 18,000+ 1/3 x + 1/4 x

Solving......

x = 18000+ (4+3)/12 x

x - 7/12 x = 18,000

5/12 x = 18,000

x/12 = 18,000 /5

x/12 = 3,600

x = 43,200

The total worth of zeetu's property is $43,200
