Answer:

53.3%

Explanation:

How much money the son gets: $8000 - $1000 = $7000
How much money the daughter gets = $8000
Total amount of money = $8000 + $7000 = $15000

We'll express as a fraction first:

(daughter)/(total)=(8000)/(15000)=(8)/(15)

To convert to a percentage:


(8)/(15) * 100 = (800)/(15) = (160)/(3) = 53.3% (1dp)

Hope this helps.
