Answer:

Total amount  = £ 3250

Step-by-step explanation:

Ann : Ben : Cheryl = 3 : 7 : 10

Money Ann received = 3x

Money Ben received  = 7x

Money Cheryl received  = 10x

Ben received £650 more than Ann.

7x - 3x = 650

     4x = 650

       x = 650/4

x = £ 162.50

Money Ann received = 3x  = 3 *162.50 = £ 487.50

Money Ben received  = 7x   = 7 *162.50 = £ 1137.50

Money Cheryl received  = 10x  = 10* 162.50 = £ 1625

Total amount = 487.50 + 1137.50 + 1625 = £ 3250
