An inheritance of $78,000 is divided among three grandchildren in the ratio 3:4:6 with the youngest grandchild receiving the least amount. What amount did the youngest grandchild receive?

(A) $5,200
(B) $6,000
(C) $13,000
(D) $18,000
(E) $24,000

\(\frac{3}{(3+4+6)}*78000\)

= \(\frac{3}{13}*78000\)

= 18000, Answer must be (D)

An inheritance of $78,000 is divided among three grandchildren in the ratio 3:4:6 with the youngest grandchild receiving the least amount. What amount did the youngest grandchild receive?

(A) $5,200
(B) $6,000
(C) $13,000
(D) $18,000
(E) $24,000

We can create the equation:

78,000 = 3x + 4x + 6x

78,000 = 13x

x = 6000

So the youngest received 3 x 6000 = 18,000 dollars.

=> 3x + 4x + 6x = 13x = 78,000

=> x = 6,000

Youngest: 3 * 6,000 = 18,000
