You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assume it should read:
A 67,500 estate is to be split among four children and a grandchild.
Each child gets the same amount, and the grandchild gets half the amount.
How much will each receive?
:
Let x = amt received by the grandchild
then
2x = amt received by the children
:
x + 4(2x) = 67500
x + 8x = 67500
9x = 67500
x =
x = $7500 received by the grandchild
then
2(7500) = $15000 received the the children
:
:
Check 4(15000) + 7500 = 67500
