In his will, Mr. Adams left 25% of his estate to his wife and unevenly divided the balance between his son and his daughter. If the son received \(\$36,000\) as his share, what was the total value of the estate?

Explanation

To find the value of the estate, you need to know either the daughter’s share or the fractional part of the estate received by the son. Neither item of information is given.
