4 siblings split their inheritance in the ratio of 4:6:8:10. The inheritance is $420,000 how much money does each sibling receive for his share of the inheritance

Answer 1

Add up the number of parts: 4:6:8:10

4+6+8+10 = 28

Each Part is P = $420,000 / 28 = $15,000.00

4P = $60,000.00

6P = $90,000.00

8P = $120,000.00

10P = $150,000.00

Answer 2

4x + 6x + 8x + 10x = 420000

28x = 420000

x = 15000

The sibling who gets the least amount gets 4(15000) = $60,000

The sibling getting the most gets 10(15000) = $150,000

The others get 6 shares or 8 shares, where each share is worth $15000
