An inheritance of R72000 is shared among 3 beneficiaries, Banele, Anele and Cele in the ratio of 1:3:4 respectively. The inheritance for Anele, Banele and Cele will be what?
split the inheritance up into x, 3x, and 4x
then x + 3x + 4x = 72000
x = .....
then find x, 3x, and 4x
To find their respective inheritances, we first need to calculate the total ratio:
1 + 3 + 4 = 8
Now, we can calculate the share for each beneficiary by multiplying their respective ratios with the total inheritance:
Anele's share: (3/8) * R72000 = R27000
Banele's share: (1/8) * R72000 = R9000
Cele's share: (4/8) * R72000 = R36000
Therefore, Anele's inheritance is R27000, Banele's inheritance is R9000, and Cele's inheritance is R36000.
