Final answer:
To determine how much Kelly receives, we need to first calculate the amount Chris receives. Let's assign a variable to Chris' share, x. According to the given information, Kelly receives 3/5 of what Chris gets, and Julie receives 1/2 of what Chris gets. Setting up an equation will allow us to solve for Chris' share and then calculate Kelly's share accordingly.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how much Kelly receives, we need to calculate the amount Chris receives first. Let's assign a variable to Chris' share, let's say x. According to the given information, Kelly receives 3/5 of what Chris gets, so her share would be (3/5)x. Similarly, Julie receives 1/2 of what Chris gets, so her share would be (1/2)x.
Since the three shares must add up to $210,000, we can set up an equation:
x + (3/5)x + (1/2)x = 210,000
Simplifying the equation, we get:
(5/5)x + (3/5)x + (1/2)x = 210,000
(15/10)x + (6/10)x + (5/10)x = 210,000
(26/10)x = 210,000
Multiplying both sides by 10/26, we get:
x = 10/26 * 210,000
x = 80,769.23
So, Chris receives $80,769.23. Now let's calculate how much Kelly receives:
(3/5) * 80,769.23 = $48,461.54
Therefore, Kelly receives $48,461.54.
