Question

zeetu left one-third of his property to his son,one-fourth to his daughter and the remainder to his wife.If his wife's share is $18000 what was the worth of his total property?

Answer 1

hello friend,here is the solution                                                                            
let the whole property be' x '

Property given to his son = 1/3 x 

Property given to daughter = 1/4 x 

The equation we obtained here 
=================================
x = 18,000+ 1/3 x + 1/4 x 

Solving...... 

x = 18000+ (4+3)/12 x 

x - 7/12 x = 18,000 

5/12 x = 18,000

x/12 = 18,000 /5 

x/12 = 3,600 

x = 43,200 

The total worth of zeetu's property is $43,200

Answer 2

Answer:

Zeetu's property is $ 43,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Son = 1/3 x 

Daughter = 1/4 x 

The equation we obtained here 

x = 18,000+ 1/3 x + 1/4 x 

x = 18000+ (4+3)/12 x 

x - 7/12 x = 18,000 

5/12 x = 18,000

x/12 = 18,000 /5 

x/12 = 3,600 

x = 43,200
