Answer:

Kaylia = $48,000

Kaylia = $48,000

Keisha = $12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Karen = 5

Kaylia = 8

Keisha = 2

Total ratio = 5 + 8 + 2

= 15

Estate value = $90 000

Karen = 5/15 × $90 000

= 1/3 × $90 000

= $90 000 / 3

= $30,000

Karen = $30,000

Kaylia = 8/15 × $90,000

= (8 * 90,000) / 15

= 720,000/15

= $48,000

Kaylia = $48,000

Keisha = 2/15 × $90,000

= 180,000/15

= $12,000

Keisha = $12,000
