Jack divided his fortune of 92,000 into 8 equal parts. he gave 4 parts to his wife, 1 part to his son and divided the last 3 parts evenly among 5 charities. How much more money did his son get than the charities

Answer: 4600

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack divided his fortune of 92,000 into 8 equal parts. This means a part will be equal to:

(92000 : 8) = 11500.

He gave 4 parts to his wife. This means his wife has:

(11500 * 4) = 46000.

1 part to his son means that his son has: (1 * 11500) = 115000.

He gave the last 3 parts and evenly it among 5 charities. This means:

(3 * 11500) = 34500 was shared among 5 charities. Each charity will get: (34500 : 5) = 6900

To calculate how much more money did his son get than the charities will be:

11500 - 6900 = 4600
