Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Jack divided his fortune of 92,000 into 8 equal portions.He gave 4 portions to his wife , 1 portion to his son and divided the remaining portions equally among 5 charities.
The portion son gets = [tex]1/8 of 92000 = 11500 $[/tex]
Charity on the whole gets = 3 portions = [tex]3/8 *92000 = 34500$[/tex]
Each charity gets = [tex]34500/5 = 6900$[/tex]
Thus we find son gets 11500 dollars while each charity gets 6900 dollars.
The difference = [tex]11500-6900\\= 4600[/tex]
4600 dollars he got more.
