A man left 3/7 of his money to his wife and 1/2 of remainder with brother. If is brother gets rupees 120 how much does his wife receives

Question

How many shares will his wife get

Answer 1

Let's work backward.

 

He had to have $240 left if half is $120.

 

The $240 is the 4/7 after giving his wife 3/7.

 

(4/7)m = 240

m = 420

 

His wife got 420 - 240 or 420(3/7) = $180.
