$8000 to charity
$8000 to goldfish
$16000 to butler
$30000 to daughter
$62,000 is half the estate
What is the value of the estate?

It is not so much math as it is reasoning.
$8000 was left to charity. This was half of the amount split with the gold fish. So the goldfish got $8000 also.
The total is $1600 that is same amount the butler got (remember the word "half").
The amount so far, $32,000 plus the $30,000 to the daughter was half of the estate.
