A man divides his money among his 4 children. Joe gets half the money, Julie gets one-fourth the money, Adam gets one-fifth the money, and Steven gets the remaining $700. How much money did the children get and how much did the man have?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x - - - = 700.
Multiply both sides by LCD = 20.
20x - 10x - 5x - 4x = 700*20
x = 14000.
= 7000,
= 3500,
= 2800.
