Three 43

Three brothers inherited a cash amount of 62,000 and they divided it among themselves in the ratio of 5:4:1. How much more is the largest share than the smallest share?

Correct result:

x =  24800

Solution:

p=62000 a=p⋅ 55+4+1=62000⋅ 55+4+1=31000 b=p⋅ 45+4+1=62000⋅ 45+4+1=24800 c=p⋅ 15+4+1=62000⋅ 15+4+1=6200  x=a−c=31000−6200=24800
