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
-
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
