<PRE><B>Question 88440</B>
A woman has an estate of $10,000. She leaves 2/5 to a charity. Of the remainder, 2/3 goes to her son. How much does her son get?
---------------
1 - 2/5 -(2/3)(3/5) 

= (15/15) - (6/15) - (6/15) 

= 3/15

= 1/5
----------
(1/5)*10,000 = $2000 (amt. her son gets)
