s Dauda and Luca had GH<600.00 more than Dauda. Il Patricia had GH2,000.00. W
was the average share, to the nearest GH!
Answer:​

Answer 1

GH 1533

Explanation:

Let Dauda's share of the money=x

Patricia had twice as much as Dauda, therefore:

Patricia's share=2x

Luca had GH 600.00 more than Dauda, therefore:

Luca's Share =x+600

If Patricia had GH 2,000.00

Then: 2x=2000

x=1000

Therefore:

• Dauda's Share=GH 1000
• Patricia's share=GH 2000
• Luca's Share =1000+600=GH 1,600

Next, we determine the average share.

`\text{Average Share=}(1000+2000+1600)/(3)\\=(4600)/(3)\\\\=$GH 1533.33\\\text{Average Share} \approx $GH 1533 (to the nearest GH)`
