Answer:
Chukwu's share is of $57.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved by a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
Chukwu's share is x.
Abdul's share is y.
Kunle's share is z.
Chukwu, Abdul and kunle are to share $142
This means that [tex]x + y + z = 142[/tex]
Abdul gets $11.00 less than Chukwu
This means that:
[tex]y = x - 11[/tex]
$7.00 more than Kunle.
This means that:
[tex]y = z + 7[/tex]
So
[tex]z = y - 7[/tex]
[tex]z = x - 11 - 7[/tex]
[tex]z = x - 18[/tex]
How much is Chukwu's share?
We want to find x, so:
[tex]x + y + z = 142[/tex]
[tex]x + x - 11 + x - 18 = 142[/tex]
[tex]3x - 29 = 142[/tex]
[tex]3x = 171[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{171}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x = 57[/tex]
Chukwu's share is of $57.
