Answer:

£27

Explanation:

In terms of ratio units, Kim gets 3 - 1 = 2 more than Jake. Lee gets 6 ratio units, so 3 times that difference.

Lee gets 3 times the difference between Kim and Jake, so ...

3 × £9 = £27 . . . . amount Lee gets

_____

The actual amounts are Jake : Kim : Lee = £4.50 : £13.50 : £27.
