Answer: £29.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction for each one one of them based on the ratio will be:

Paul = 2/(2+5+1) = 2/8

Colin = 5/(2+5+1) = 5/8

Brian = 1/(2+5+1) = 1/8

Amount gotten by each person will be:

Paul = 2/8 × £78.40 = £19.60

Colin = 5/8 × £78.40 = £49.00

Brian = 1/8 × £78.40 = £9.80
