    Answer: 4600

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Jack divided his fortune of 92,000 into 8 equal parts. This means a part will be equal to:

    (92000 : 8) = 11500.

    He gave 4 parts to his wife. This means his wife has:

    (11500 * 4) = 46000.

    1 part to his son means that his son has: (1 * 11500) = 115000.

    He gave the last 3 parts and evenly it among 5 charities. This means:

    (3 * 11500) = 34500 was shared among 5 charities. Each charity will get: (34500 : 5) = 6900

    To calculate how much more money did his son get than the charities will be:

    11500 - 6900 = 4600
