Question: A man left legacies to his three sons and to a hospital, amounting in all to $1,320.00. If he had left the hospital legacy also to his first son, that son would have received as much as the other two sons together. If he had left it to his second son, he would have received twice as much as the other two sons together. If he had left the hospital legacy to his third son, he would have received then thrice as much as the first son and second son together. Find the amount of each legacy.
Answer: The legacy to the first son was $55.00, to the second son $275.00, to the third son $385.00, and to the hospital $605.00, making $1,320.00 in all.
