Since each of the three daughters got a share that was 3/4 of the son's share, we can represent the son's share by 4x and each daughter's share by 3x. Then since the total amount was 5720,
The son's share was 4*#440 = #1760.
Each daughter's share was 3*#440 = #1320.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5700=3s*3/4+s
5700=3s*3/4+s
5700=9s/4+s
5700=13s/4
4*5700=13s
4*5700/13=s
1753.84615385=son's share
3/4*4*5700/13=d
3*5700/13=d
1315.38461538=d
