Question 995209
.
A man divides his money among his 4 children. Joe gets half the money, Julie gets one-fourth the money, Adam gets one-fifth the money, and Steven gets the <U>remaining</U> $700. How much money did the children get and how much did the man have?
------------------------------------------------------------------------


x - {{{x/2}}} - {{{x/4}}} - {{{x/5}}} = 700.


Multiply both sides by LCD = 20.


20x - 10x - 5x - 4x = 700*20


x = 14000.


{{{x/2}}} = 7000,


{{{x/4}}} = 3500,


{{{x/5}}} = 2800.
