Gold inheritance

The king divided the inheritance with his three sons in the ratio of 7: 6: 4. Two of them received 286,000 gold. How much each of the sons got.

Correct answer:

a =  154000
b =  132000
c =  88000

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} k_1=\frac{7}{7+6+4}=\frac{7}{17}\doteq 0.4118 \\ {k}_2=\frac{6}{7+6+4}=\frac{6}{17}\doteq 0.3529 \\ {k}_3=\frac{4}{7+6+4}=\frac{4}{17}\doteq 0.2353 \\ t=286000 \\ z=t/(k_1+k_2)=286000/(0.4118+0.3529)=374000 \\ a=z\cdot k_1=374000\cdot 0.4118=154000 \end{gathered}$$

$b=z\cdot k_2=374000\cdot 0.3529=132000$

$c=z\cdot k_3=374000\cdot 0.2353=88000$
