 (((son),:,(3 daughters)),((  1),:,((3/4)×3=(9/4))),((  4),:,(        9)) )  Total parts 4+9=13  Per each part $5720÷13=$440  The son receives $440×4=$1760

$$\begin{pmatrix}{\mathrm{son}}&{:}&{\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{daughters}}\\{\:\:\mathrm{1}}&{:}&{\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}×\mathrm{3}=\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{4}}}\\{\:\:\mathrm{4}}&{:}&{\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{9}}\end{pmatrix} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Total}\:\mathrm{parts}\:\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{9}=\mathrm{13} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Per}\:\mathrm{each}\:\mathrm{part}\:\$\mathrm{5720}\boldsymbol{\div}\mathrm{13}=\$\mathrm{440} \\ $$$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{son}\:\mathrm{receives}\:\$\mathrm{440}×\mathrm{4}=\$\mathrm{1760} \\ $$

If 1/4 is one part:  Then daughter receives 3 parts and  the son 4 parts.  parts received by three daughters=3×3=9  The only son gets            4 parts.  Total 13 parts  $5720÷13=$440 per each part.  son rdceives 440×4=$1760.00

$$\mathrm{If}\:\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{4}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{one}\:\mathrm{part}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{Then}\:\mathrm{daughter}\:\mathrm{receives}\:\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{parts}\:\mathrm{and} \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{son}\:\mathrm{4}\:\mathrm{parts}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{parts}\:\mathrm{received}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{three}\:\mathrm{daughters}=\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{9} \\ $$$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{only}\:\mathrm{son}\:\mathrm{gets}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{4}\:\mathrm{parts}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{Total}\:\mathrm{13}\:\mathrm{parts} \\ $$$$\$\mathrm{5720}\boldsymbol{\div}\mathrm{13}=\$\mathrm{440}\:\mathrm{per}\:\mathrm{each}\:\mathrm{part}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{son}\:\mathrm{rdceives}\:\mathrm{440}×\mathrm{4}=\$\mathrm{1760}.\mathrm{00} \\ $$
