However, the secret is to concentrate on the fractions rather than the fictitious sums: A fraction of a twelfth is revealed by adding a half, a quarter, and a sixth (2+4+6=12). Consider it as 6/12, 3/12, and 2/12, which adds up to 11/12. If the remaining money is $1,000, then it must be one-twelfth of the total, which is $12,000.
