Three brothers inherited a sum of money amounting 3 900 000.00 pesos. How much will each brother recieve if the sum of money is divided in a ratio of 5, 5 and 3.

5:5:3
----------------
5x + 5x + 3x = 3,900,000
13x = 3,900,000
x = 300,000
---------------
5x = 5(300,000)
     = 1,500,000
3x = 3(300,00)
    = 900,000
----------------
Therefore two of them receive 1,500,000 and one would receive 900,000
