Answer:

Dylan should receive £75

Explanation:

We know that

Abby, Neil, and Dylan share money in the ratios 2:4:5

This means that for every £2 that Abby has, Neil has £4, and Dylan has £5.

From this, we also know that for every £4 that Neil has, Dylan has £5.

Now we know that Neil receives £60

For each group of £4, Dylan will have £5.

Then we need to count how many times £4 is on £60, this is equal to:

£60/£4 = 15

And for each one of these, Dylan should receive £5, this is:

15*£5 = £75
