Answer by timvanswearingen(106)  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First off, add up the numbers from the ratio to see what portion of the total money each child receives.
Now, Ann will get 2/30 of the money. Betty will get 4/30, Carol will get 6/30, Donna will get 8/30 and Elsie will get 10/30.
For Ann,
(2/30)*($93,600)=$6,240
For Betty,
(4/30)*($93,600)=$12,480
For Carol,
(6/30)*($93,600)=$18,720
For Donna,
(8/30)*($93,600)=$24,960
For Elsie,
(10/30)*($93,600)=$31,200
