an estate valued at $75 000 is divided among three daughters Natasha, Natalie and Nadia in the ratio 5:8:2 respectively. Calculate the amount each receives ​

Answer 1

Natasha: $25000

Natalie: $40000

Nadia: $10000

Explanation:

5 : 8 : 2

5 + 8 + 2 = 15

$75000 ÷ 15

$5000

$5000 × 5 = $25000

$5000 × 8 = $40000

$5000 × 2 = $10000
