Answer:

Chukwu's share is of $57.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

Chukwu's share is x.

Abdul's share is y.

Kunle's share is z.

Chukwu, Abdul and kunle are to share $142

This means that x + y + z = 142

Abdul gets $11.00 less than Chukwu

This means that:

y = x - 11

$7.00 more than Kunle.

This means that:

y = z + 7

So

z = y - 7

z = x - 11 - 7

z = x - 18

How much is Chukwu's share?

We want to find x, so:

x + y + z = 142

x + x - 11 + x - 18 = 142

3x - 29 = 142

3x = 171

x = \frac{171}{3}

x = 57

Chukwu's share is of $57.
