Assume M is the Total Money
M/6 + (1/5)(M - M/6) + $600 = M
M/6 + M/5 - M/30 + $ 600 = M
M/6 + M/5 - M/30 - M = -$600
(1/6 + 1/5 - 1/30 - 1)M = -$600
-2M/3 = -$600
2M/3 = $600
M = ($600)(3/2)
M = $900
so the total money is $900
but the money he gave to his children is only 1/3 of the Total Money(M)
therefore,
=(1/3)($900)
=$300
$300 is the total money he gave to his children
