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?

Answer Details

Let Uche's share be x. Since Kayode has twice as much as Uche, Kayode's share will be 2x. Also, since Abu has twice as much as Kayode, Abu's share will be 2(2x) = 4x. The sum of their shares is N140,000, so we have: x + 2x + 4x = N140,000 7x = N140,000 x = N20,000 Therefore, Kayode's share is 2x = 2(N20,000) = N40,000. Hence, the answer is N40,000.
