The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's denote the total amount of money the man has as \( T \). ### Step 1: Define the total money Let the total money be \( T \). ### Step 2: Amount given to the elder son The elder son receives \( 7500 \). ### Step 3: Amount given to the second son The second son receives \( \frac{3}{10} \) of the total money: \[ \text{Amount to second son} = \frac{3}{10} T \] ### Step 4: Amount given to the third son The third son receives the sum of the amounts given to the first and second sons: \[ \text{Amount to third son} = 7500 + \frac{3}{10} T \] ### Step 5: Set up the equation Since the total amount of money distributed to all three sons must equal the total money \( T \), we can write the equation: \[ 7500 + \frac{3}{10} T + \left( 7500 + \frac{3}{10} T \right) = T \] ### Step 6: Simplify the equation Combine the terms: \[ 7500 + \frac{3}{10} T + 7500 + \frac{3}{10} T = T \] This simplifies to: \[ 15000 + \frac{6}{10} T = T \] or \[ 15000 + \frac{3}{5} T = T \] ### Step 7: Isolate \( T \) Subtract \( \frac{3}{5} T \) from both sides: \[ 15000 = T - \frac{3}{5} T \] This can be rewritten as: \[ 15000 = \frac{2}{5} T \] ### Step 8: Solve for \( T \) Multiply both sides by \( \frac{5}{2} \): \[ T = 15000 \times \frac{5}{2} = 37500 \] ### Conclusion The total amount of money the man has is \( T = 37500 \). ---
