₦45.00

₦48.00

₦52.00

₦60.00

₦53.00

Answer Details

Let x be John's money, Janet already had ₦105, $\frac{1}{3}$ of x was given to Janet
Janet now has $\frac{1}{3^{2}}$ x + 105 = $\frac{x + 315}{3}$
John's money left = $\frac{2}{3}$ x
= $\frac{\frac{1}{4} (x + 315)}{3}$
= $\frac{2}{3}$
24x = 3x + 945
∴ x = 45
