35% to the 5 children
\n" ); document.write( "3/5 or 60% to the 12 grandchildren
\n" ); document.write( "100-35-60=5% to the 8 great-grandchildren.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So the grandchildren receive,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"325000%280.60%29=195000\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Since there are 12 of them, each grandchild receives,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"G=195000%2F12=16250\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and the great-grandchildren receive,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"325000%280.05%29=16250\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Since there are 8 of them, each great-grandchild receives,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"GG=2031.25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the difference is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D=G-GG=16250-2031.25=14218.75\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
