Answer: $5780
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Jackson gave sum of money to her son and daughter in the ratio 8:9 and her daughter received $3,060. To get the total amount given to the children goes thus:
Son = 8
Daughter= 9
Total = 8+9 = 17
Let the total amount given to the children be y. Since the daughter's share is $3060.
= 9/17 × y = 3060
= 9y/17 = 3060
9y = 3060 × 17
9y = 52020
y = 52020/9
y = 5780
Mrs Jackson gave out $5780
