Question

Jack divided his fortune of $92,000 into 8 equal parts. He gave 4 parts to his wife, 1 part to his son and divided the remaining 3 parts equally among 5 charities.

How much more money did his son get than each charity?

Answer 1

4600 more money

Explanation:

92000 ÷ 8 = 11500

1 part to his son

3(11500)= 34500

34500 ÷ 5 = 6900

11500-6900= 4600

Answer 2

4,600

Explanation:

92,000/8= 11500

11500 x 4= 46000 to his wife

11500 for the son

92000-57500= 34500

34500/5= 6,900 each charity

11500-6900= 4600 is how more he is getting than each charity
