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?
N80,000
N40,000
N2,000
10,000

Explanation

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
