Answer:

$7,096.55

Explanation:


(1)/(6) =
(7)/(42)


(1)/(7) =
(6)/(42)


(6)/(42) +
(7)/(42) =
(13)/(42) This Son A and Son B's portion

Son C must be
(42)/(42) -
(13)/(42) =
(29)/(42)


(29)/(42) of some number is 29400


(29)/(42) x = 29400 Multiple by sides by
(42)/(29)

x =
(42)/(29) x 29400

x = 42579.31 Rounded to the nearest penny

This number is the total

42579.31 x 1/6 = 7096.55 Rounded to the nearest penny
