ontili shared his money his three sons. The first son received 1/3 of the money, the second one got 1/5 of it and the third son got 1/4 of the remainder. If ontili remained with sh. 210000, how much did the first son received?
It would help if you proofread your questions before you posted them.
Does "it" refer to the remainder or original total?
M=M/3+M/5+M(1-1/3 -1/5)/4+210000
solve for M money the total. First son got1/3
To find out how much the first son received, we need to follow a step-by-step process:
Step 1: Determine the total amount of money Ontili had initially:
Since Ontili remained with sh. 210,000, this amount represents the remainder after giving money to his three sons. Therefore, we need to calculate the total amount he had initially by adding 210,000 to the total amount given to his sons.
Step 2: Calculate how much each son received:
- The first son received 1/3 of the money.
- The second son received 1/5 of the money.
- The third son received 1/4 of the remainder.
Step 3: Sum up the amounts received by each son to determine the total amount given to the sons.
Step 4: Subtract the total amount given to the sons from the total amount Ontili had initially to find out how much Ontili had.
Step 5: Finally, use the information obtained from steps 3 and 4 to calculate how much the first son received.
Let's go through the steps:
Step 1: Calculate the total amount Ontili had initially
To find the total amount Ontili had initially, we need to add the remaining sh. 210,000 to the amount given to the sons. Since the amount given to the sons is the remainder, we start with that.
Total amount = Amount given to the sons + Remaining amount
Total amount = Amount given to the sons + sh. 210,000
Step 2: Calculate how much each son received
- The first son received 1/3 of the money, so we divide the total amount by 3.
- The second son received 1/5 of the money, so we divide the total amount by 5.
- The third son received 1/4 of the remainder, which is a fraction of a fraction. To make the calculation easier, we can find the remainder first by subtracting the amount given to the first two sons from the total amount. Then, we divide the remainder by 4.
Amount received by the first son = (Total amount / 3)
Amount received by the second son = (Total amount / 5)
Amount received by the third son = (Remainder / 4)
Step 3: Calculate the total amount given to the sons
To find the total amount given to the sons, we add up the amounts received by each son.
Total amount given to the sons = Amount received by the first son + Amount received by the second son + Amount received by the third son
Step 4: Calculate the total amount Ontili had
To find the total amount Ontili had initially, we subtract the total amount given to the sons from the total amount.
Total amount Ontili had = Total amount - Total amount given to the sons
Step 5: Calculate how much the first son received
To find out how much the first son received, we use the amount received by the first son that we calculated in step 2.
Now, let's perform the calculations:
Step 1: Calculate the total amount Ontili had initially
Let's say the total amount Ontili had initially is X.
X = Amount given to the sons + sh. 210,000
Step 2: Calculate how much each son received
Amount received by the first son = (X / 3)
Amount received by the second son = (X / 5)
Remainder = X - (Amount received by the first son + Amount received by the second son)
Amount received by the third son = (Remainder / 4)
Step 3: Calculate the total amount given to the sons
Total amount given to the sons = Amount received by the first son + Amount received by the second son + Amount received by the third son
Step 4: Calculate the total amount Ontili had
Total amount Ontili had = X - Total amount given to the sons
Step 5: Calculate how much the first son received
Amount received by the first son = (X / 3)
To find the value of X and the amount received by the first son, we need more information. Can you provide any additional details?
