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
