Robin shares Rs18,000 among the members of his family.
\n" ); document.write( " On a pie chart, the son gets 144 degrees and his daughter received 1/3 of the amount of money that the wife received.
\n" ); document.write( " How much money did the wife receive?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let w = amt the wife gets
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F3\"$ w = amt the daughter gets
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find how much the son gets
\n" ); document.write( " $\"144%2F360\"$ * 18000 = $7200
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "w + $\"1%2F3\"$ w + 7200 = 18000
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2F3\"$ w = 18000 - 7200
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2F3\"$ w = 10800
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "4w = 32400
\n" ); document.write( "w = $\"32400%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "w = $8100 for the wife
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "see if that adds up (daughter gets 1/3 of 8100)
\n" ); document.write( "7200 + 8100 + 2700 = 18000 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
