John gives one-third of his money to Janet who has N105.00. He then finds that his money is reduced to one-fourth of what Janet now has. Find how much money john has at first

A.

N45.00

B.

N48.00

C.

N52.00

D.

N60.00

E.

N52.00

Correct answer is A

Let x be John's money, Janet already had N105, 13 of x was given to Janet

Janet now has 132x + 105 = x+3153

John's money left = 23x

= 14(x+315)3

= 23

24x = 3x + 945

∴ x = 45
