Inheritance

After death father (♱ 62) remained mother (his wife) and its 3 children. Inheritance by law is that in the first mother will automatically get half of the property and other one-half inherited by heirs which are mother and her 3 children by the same share.

Calculate the resulting share of property that falls to the mother and one child and express it as a percentage.

Correct answer:

M =  62.5 %
D =  12.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

$M={\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}\cdot {\displaystyle \frac{1}{3+1}}={\displaystyle \frac{5}{8}}=62.5\mathrm{\%}$

$D={\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}\cdot {\displaystyle \frac{1}{3+1}}={\displaystyle \frac{1}{8}}=12.5\mathrm{\%}$
