You can put this solution on YOUR website! she recived 72,000 rbs.
let x be the retirement money
she deposited x/2 in the bank
remainder is x-x/(2) which is x/2
she gave 0.5((x)/(2))+6000 to her daughter
remainder is x/2-[0.5((x)/(2))+6000]
remainder is half what the daughter gets
x/2-[0.5((x)/(2))+6000]=0.5(0.5((x)/(2))+6000 )
x=720000
check
720000
half in the bank 36000
remainder is 36000
daughter takes 18000+6000=24000
remainder is 36000-24000=12000 which is half of 24000
