Answer:
£2112
Step-by-step explanation:
To find Gavin's share, sum the parts of the ratio, 4 + 1 = 5 parts
Divide the win by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio.
£8800 ÷ 5 = £1760 ← value of 1 part of ratio, thus
4 parts = 4 × £1760 = £7040 ← Gavin's share
Now repeat the process with the ratio for his family
1 + 6 + 3 = 10 parts
£7040 ÷ 10 = £704 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus
6 × £704 = £4224 ← wife's share
3 × £704 = £2112 ← son's share
Difference = £4224 - £2112 = £2112
Thus his wife gets £2112 more than the son
