Answer 1

Shannon gets £18 and Courtney gets £24

Explanation:

Total Money = £42

Ratio = 3:4

Total Parts = 3+4 = 7

Shannon:

=>
`(3)/(7) * 42`

=> 3*6

=> £ 18

Courtney:

=>
`(4)/(7) *42`

=> 4*6

=> £24

Answer 2

Total ratio = 3+4 = 7

Shannon's share = 3/7 × 42 = £18

Courtney's share = 4/7 × 42 = £ 24

Hope this helps.
