Answer:
shs92800
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the money owned by the man be x.
Hence the man gave ⅝of his money to his son;
Meaning the son gets:
⅝ × x = ⅝x
¾ of the remaining to his daughter,
Meaning his daughter gets :
¾ ×(x-⅝x) = ¾×3/8 x = 9/32X
the remaining to his wife,
Meaning his wife gets:
x-(5/8x + 9/32x) = x - 29/32x = 3/32 x
But his wife's amount is Shs8700
Meaning 3/32x = Shs8700
x= Shs8700 × 32/3 = shs92800
