Question

great uncle wilbert splits his inheritance with his 5 nieces and nephews. each of them must pay a $7500 inheritance fee. if each niece or nephew got $237,500 how much money was great uncle wilberts inheritance worth? please show work!!

Answer 1

5 nieces, 7500 each=37,500 total in inheritance fees. I think is irrelevent but I am not sure. If each niece gets 237,500, multiply by five is 1,187,500. I think that since each niece gets equal amounts you would just have to multiply by five to get what the inheritance would be worth, but I am not completely sure.
