Answer: £33
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that the total amount of money they share is x. Then, the amount that Gordon receives is 3x/10, the amount that Caroline receives is 3x/10, and the amount that Malachy receives is 4x/10.
From the information given, we know that Gordon and Malachy receive a total of £77, which means:
3x/10 + 4x/10 = 77
Combining the two terms on the left-hand side:
7x/10 = 77
Solving for x:
x = 110
So, the total amount of money they shared is £110. And, Caroline received 3x/10 = 3 * 110/10 = £33.
