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?
N80,000
N40,000
N20,000
N10,000
Vysvetlenie
\(Abu = 2x\\
Kayode = x\\
Uche = \frac{x}{2}\\
2x+x+\frac{x}{2}=140,000\\
\frac{7x}{2}=140,000\\
7x = 280,000\\
x=\frac{280,000}{7}\\
x=40,000\)Kayode receives N40,000
