Answer:

Explanation:

Given that Jack divided his fortune of 92,000 into 8 equal portions.He gave 4 portions to his wife , 1 portion to his son and divided the remaining portions equally among 5 charities.

The portion son gets =
1/8 of 92000 = 11500 $

Charity on the whole gets = 3 portions =
3/8 *92000 = 34500$

Each charity gets =
34500/5 = 6900$

Thus we find son gets 11500 dollars while each charity gets 6900 dollars.

The difference =
11500-6900\\= 4600

4600 dollars he got more.
