Question

Kojo, Ebo and Ama shared 14,000 among themselves. Kojo had twice as much as Ebo, and Ebo also had twice as much as Ama. How much did Ebo get?

Answer 1

Let x be the amount that Ama got.

Then Ebo got 2x, and Kojo got 2 * 2x = 4x.

So, the total amount shared among them is x + 2x + 4x = 7x = 14,000.

Therefore, x = 2,000.

Ebo got 2x = 2 * 2,000 = 4,000.

Therefore, Ebo got 4,000.
