₦1,080.00

₦2,400.00

₦3,000.00

₦3,600.00

Answer Details

Let value of store = X
Ratio of Taiwo's share to kehine's is 11:9 Keyinde sells $\frac{2}{3}$ of her share to Taiwo for ₦720
$\frac{2}{3}$ of 9 = 6
∴ Sum of the ratio = 11 + 9 = 20
$\frac{6}{20}$ of x = ₦720
$\frac{6 x}{20}$ = 720
∴ x = $\frac{720 \times 20}{6}$
x = ₦24,000
