Question

A property worth 10,480.00 is shared between Eugenia and her 10 brothers in ratio: 1:4 respectively.The 10 brothers shared their portion equally.Find each the brothers share.

Answer 1

838.4

Explanation:

From the question,

Total worth of the property = 10480.

Eugenia share: Her 10 brothers share = 1:4

Total ratio = 1+4 = 5.

Her 10 brother's share = (4/5)(10480)

Her 10 brother's share = 41920/5

Her 10 brother's share = 8384.

If the 10 brothers shared their portion equally,

Each brother's share = 8384/10

Each brother's share = 838.4
