N140 000 is shared between Abu Kayode and Uche ... - WAEC Mathematics 2007 Question
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'sshare?
A
N80,000
B
N40,000
C
N2,000
D
10,000
correct option: b
Let Abu's share = 2x;
Kayode's = x
Uche's share = \(\frac{x}{2}\)
Total: 2x + x + \(\frac{x}{2}\) = N140,000
\(\frac{7x}{2}\) = N140,000
x = \(\frac{280,000}{7}\) = N40,000
Kayode's share = N40,000
Kayode's = x
Uche's share = \(\frac{x}{2}\)
Total: 2x + x + \(\frac{x}{2}\) = N140,000
\(\frac{7x}{2}\) = N140,000
x = \(\frac{280,000}{7}\) = N40,000
Kayode's share = N40,000
