was the average share, to the nearest GH¢?

Answer 1

Answer:

GH¢ 1533.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Patricia= p, Luca= l, Dauda= d

p=2d, l=d+600.00, p=2000.00

• d=p/2= 2000.00/2= 1000.00
• l=d+600.00= 1000.00+ 600.00= 1600.00

Average:

• (p+l+d)/3 =

• (2000.00+1600.00+1000.00)/3= GH¢ 1533.33

Answer: GH¢ 1533.33 average share
