Answer 2

Answer:

Brian get £5

Step-by-step explanation:

Brian get twice as much as Colin

Brian "B"   Colin "C" so that B=2C

Colin get 3 times as much as Dan Dan "D"

·r  C= 30                   Understanding equivalence  relationship

Because £50 is divided between Brian, Colin and Dan:

                      B+C+D=50

                     2C+C+D= 50

                      3C+D=50

                      3x3D+D=50

                       9D+D=50

                      10D= 50

                      D= 50 ÷10

                          D= 5

Therefore Brian get £5
