Answer:

£18

Explanation:

Ratio is 6:3:2

(john:robert:edward)

added together is 11, divide 99 by 11 to get 9, multiply the ratio numbers by 9

54:27:18

Check answers:

27 times 2 = 54 yes

18 times 3 = 54 yes

54 + 27 + 18 = 99 yes

Since it goes John : Robert : Edward (edward is last) and 54:27:18 (18 is last)

Edward got £18
