Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Amount received by Aman's Wife   = $4000

The expression which shows the amount received by his son = x+ 10000

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount Aman has = $9000

Let us assume the amount his daughter receives = $x

So, the amount his wife received = 2 x (Amount received by Daughter)

= 2 x ($x)  = 2 x

And the amount his son received =$1000 +  (Amount received by Daughter)

= 1000 x ($x)  = x+ 10000

According to the question:

Amount of ( Daughter's  + Wife's  + Son's)  share  =  $9000

x + 2x + x + 10000 = $9,000

⇒4 x  = 9000 - 1000

or, 4 x = 8000

⇒ x = 8000 / 4 = 2,000

⇒ x = $2,000

So, the amount received by Aman's Wife  =  2 x + 2 ($2000) = $4000

The expression which shows the amount received by his son = x+ 10000
