Inheritance

After death, the father († 62) remained the mother (his wife) and 3 children. Inheritance by law is that the first mother will automatically get half of the property and the other half inherited by heirs, the 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.

Final Answer:

M =  62.5 %
D =  12.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} d=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{3+1}=\frac{1}{8}=0.125 \\ m=\frac{1}{2}+d=\frac{1}{2}+0.125=\frac{5}{8}=0.625 \\ M=100\cdot m=100\cdot 0.625=62.5\% \end{gathered}$$

$D=100\cdot d=100\cdot 0.125=12.5\%$
