Answer provided by our tutors
a man left an amount of Php525,000 .
suppose daughter receives = x amount
each son was to receive twice the amount the daughter would receive,
therefore each son would receive 2x Php
widow was to have eight times the amount each son would receive
therefore widow would receive 8 *(2x) amount of Php
we have
x +2x +2x + 16x = 525000
21x = 525000
x = 25000
share of widow is = 16 * x = 16 *25000 = 400,000
