Answer:

Let's solve this problem step by step:

Let's represent the amount Ade gets as x in Nigerian Naira (NGN).

According to the given information, Afeez gets 120 NGN more than Ade. So, Afeez gets (x + 120) NGN.

The total amount they are given is 600 NGN, so we can write the equation:

x + (x + 120) = 600

Combining like terms:

2x + 120 = 600

Subtracting 120 from both sides:

2x = 480

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 240

So, Ade gets 240 NGN and Afeez gets (240 + 120) = 360 NGN.

Therefore, Ade gets 240 NGN and Afeez gets 360 NGN respectively.
