Answer:

Jim will get $8320.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim Murray and Phyllis Lowe received a total of $52,000 from a deceased relative's estate. They decided to put $10,400 in a trust for their nephew and divide the remainder.

The remainder = [tex]52000-10400=41600[/tex] dollars

Phyllis received 4/5 of the remainder; = [tex]0.8 \times41600=33280[/tex] dollars

Jim received 1/5 ; =[tex]0.2\times41600=8320[/tex] dollars

So, Phyllis will get $33280.

Jim will get $8320.
