Let x = son's share

3/4 x = daughter's share

3/4 x + 3/4 x + 3/4 x + x = 5720000

4x = 5720000

x = 5720000/4

x = 14300000

The son received 14300000.
Wrong answer by the bot!!!

d : s = 3x : 4x

3x+4x = 5,720,000
7x = 5,720,000
x = 5,720,000/7 = 817,142.857

daughter gets 3x or 2,451,428.43
son gets 4x or 3,268,571.43

notice: 2451428.42 : 3268571.43 = .749999.. = .75 = 3 : 4
sorry, I Know, but there were 3 daughters, as the bot recognized. Unfortunately, the bot's simple math was botched as usual.

so 13x = 5,720,000
x = 440,000
the son got 4x = 1,760,000
