Answer:

£44

Explanation:

We have been given the ratio 1 : 3 , where 1 is stephens value and 3 is bridgets value.

We have told that stephen gets £11.

The relationship between stephens 'value' of 1 and the amount of money that he actually gets (11) is x11.

Therefore we must also x11 to Bridgets value.

11 x 3 = £33

Now, we add the two answers to find how much they won in total.

£33 + £11 = £44

hope this helps :)
