Answer:

£1417.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Dan & Colin share £9450 in the ratio 2 : 3

Dan's Share =[tex]\frac{2}{5}X9450= \£3780[/tex]

Dan then shares his part (£3780) between himself, his wife & their son in the ratio 3 : 4 : 1.

Total of their ratios = 3+4+1=8

The Wife's Share =[tex]\frac{4}{8}X3780= \£1890[/tex]

The Sons Share =[tex]\frac{1}{8}X3780= \£472.50[/tex]

We are to determine how much more his wife get over their son.

The difference = 1890 - 472.50 =£1417.50

The wife gets £1417.50 much more than the son.
