Answer 1

the answers are
G=£17
P=£34
M=£51

Answer 2

see explanation

Explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio , 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 parts

divide the amount by 6 to find the value of one part of the ratio

£102 ÷ 6 = £17 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

2 parts = 2 × £17 = £34

3 parts = 3 × £17 = £51

Gavyn gets £17

Pip gets £34

Mark gets £51
