Question

Kofi,kwame and Ama share 12960 Ghana cedis. Kofi receives twice as much as kwame kwame three times as much as Ama. How much does kwame receive.

Answer 1

Answer:

kwame receive 3888

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Kofi receives twice as much as kwame,

Kofi=2*kwame

let x be the amount

kofi/kwame=2x/1x

kwame three times as much as Ama.

likewise,

kwame=3Ama

kwame/Ama=3x/1x

kofi:kwame

      kwame:Ama

---------------------------

2   :    1

         3      :      1

----------------------------

2*3  : 1*3 : 1*1

6    :   3   :    1  = 10x

if 10x=12960

     x=1296

kwame=3*x

           =3*1296

           =3888
