A sum of money is shared among three brothers. The eldest received 7/13 of it and the second brother receives 2/3 of the remainder. If the youngest brother receives $200, find the sum of money shared.

Answer 1

eldest gets = 7 x/13
second gets = 2 (x-7x/13)/3 =( 2/3) ( 6x/13) = 4 x/13
third = 200 = x - 7 x/13 - 4 x/13 = 13 x/13 - 11 x/13 = 2 x/13
x = 1300
