Answer 2

The total money the three people shared is 84 pounds.

• Given, the ratio of amount shared by three people = 4:3:5.
• Therefore, the amounts received by each of them is 4a, 3a, 5a.
• The amount received by second person = 21.

                                                3a = 21

                                                a = 7

• The amount received by first person = 4a = 4(7) = 28 pounds.
• The amount received by third person = 5a = 5(7) = 35 pounds.
• Therefore, the money they shared = 21 + 28 + 35 = 84 pounds.
