Mr. Mendoza gave 5/14 of his total  money to his son, 2/3 of the remainder  amount to his daughter, and the rest to his wife. If his wife got Rupees 360,000.00, what was the total amount?

Answer:

Mr. Mendoza's total amount was Rs. 16,80,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

5/14 of his total money  was given by Mr. Mendoza to his son.

2/3 of the remainder amount to Mr. Mendoza's daughter.

The rest of amount to Mr. Mendoza's wife.

Mr. Mendoza's wife got amount  Rupees 360,000.00.

To Find:

Mr. Mendoza's total amount .

Solution:

Let the total amount of Mr. Mendoza  was  Rs.p.

As given-5/14 of his total money  was given by Mr. Mendoza to his son.

Fraction of amount given to Son $=\frac{5}{14} p$

Remaining fraction of amount  $= p-\frac{5}{14} p$

                                                     $= \frac{(14-5)}{5} p =\frac{9}{14}p$                                                    

As given-2/3 of the remainder to Mr. Mendoza's daughter.

Fraction of amount given to daughter $=\frac{2}{3} (\frac{9}{14} )p$

                                                              $=\frac{18}{42} p$

As given -the rest to Mr. Mendoza's wife.

Fraction of amount given to his wife $=\frac{9}{14}p -\frac{18}{42}p$

                                                             $=\frac{(27-18)}{42}p$

                                                              $=\frac{9}{42} p=\frac{3}{14} p$

As given - Mr. Mendoza's wife got Rupees 360,000.00.

$\frac{3}{14} p =360000$

$p=\frac{( 360000\times14)}{3}$

$p=\frac{5040000}{3}$

$p=16,80,000\ Rs.$

Thus, Mr. Mendoza's total amount was was Rs. 16,80,000.
