Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jack divided his fortune of 92,000 into 8 equal portions.He gave 4 portions to his wife , 1 portion to his son and divided the remaining portions equally among 5 charities.

The portion son gets = $1/8 of 92000 = 11500$

Charity on the whole gets = 3 portions = $3/8 *92000 = 34500$

Each charity gets = $34500/5 = 6900$

Thus we find son gets 11500 dollars while each charity gets 6900 dollars.

The difference = $11500-6900\\= 4600$

4600 dollars he got more.
