An inheritance of $300,000 is to be divided between a son and the local heart fund in the ratio of 3 to 1. How much money will the son receive?
The ratio is 3:1 meaning the the total number of parts the money has to be made is four.
Son's share = 3/4 * 3000000 = $2250000
The heart fund gets the balance $750000
