SHARE
How much DID SON RECIEVED

The son received 2,615.38.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know how much the son received, it is best to use algebraic expressions in finding the children's individual shares.

Let x be the son's share and be the share of each daughter.

The equation will be: 8,500 = x + + +

Next step is: 8,500 =  

                      8,500 =

                      8,500 × 4 = 13x

                      34,000 = 13x

                      = x

                      x = 2,615.38

The son received 2,615.38

Let's get the share of each daughter:

= = 1,961.54

Each daughter will receive 1,961.54

Let's check: 2,615.38 + 1,961.54 + 1,961.54 + 1,961.54 = 8,500

1: -2 3/4, -2 1/2, -14, 0, 3, 8 1/3

2: -4, -3, -2 1/2, -2 1/4, 3 1/4,
