N140,000 is shared between ABU, Kayode and Uche. Abu has twice as much as Kayode, and Kayode has twice as much as Uche. What is Kayode’s share?
-
A.
N80,000 -
B.
N40,000 -
C.
N20,000 -
D.
N10,000
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
(Abu = 2x\
Kayode = x\
Uche = frac{x}{2}\
2x+x+frac{x}{2}=140,000\
frac{7x}{2}=140,000\
7x = 280,000\
x=frac{280,000}{7}\
x=40,000)Kayode receives N40,000
