Step-by-step explanation:
total amount 8800
4x +x =8800
5x =8800
x= 8800/5
x=1760
4x=1760x4=7040
x=1760
so gavin's total is 7040
now he divides it in the ratio
x+6x+3x (we will equate it to gavin earning from the lottery and not the total amount given )
which is x+6x+3x =7040
10x =7040
x=7040/10
=704
now x =704
6x =704 ×6=4224
3x=704×3=2112
his wife gets 2112 $ more than son
hope this helps you
