Judy, Mark and Helen receive funds from a settlement in the ratio 7:10:14. Helen receives $100,000 more than Mark. How much did Judy receive?
---------------------------
Equation:
7x + 10x + 14x = 100,000
31x = 100,000
x = 3225.81
----------------
7x = 22,580.65
10x = 32,258.10
14x = 45161.34

100000 is not the total settlement
14x=100000+10x
4x=100000
x=25000
7*25000=judy's settlement
175000
10*25000=mark's settlement
250000
14*25000=helen's settlement
350000
Judy received 175000
