Answer:

£66

Explanation:

I like to work problems involving ratios by considering the value of each "ratio unit." Before we get that far, we need to finish the division ratios.

Dan : Eva = 3 : 4

There are two remaining divisions, each getting half Eva's amount. That is, each of those gets 4/2 = 2 "ratio units." Then the full division ratios are ...

Dan : Eva : Freddie : Gok = 3 : 4 : 2 : 2

for a total of 11 ratio units. Those 11 units represent £242, so each one represents £242/11 = £22. That makes Dan's 3 units worth ...

3×£22 = £66 . . . the amount Dan gets
