Answer:

  • £228

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Total = £760
  • Stephen = s, Bridget = b, Caroline = c

We have equations:

  • s + b + c = 760
  • b = 3c
  • s = 2b

Substitute s with b and b with c as above into first equation:

  • 2(3c) + 3c + c = 760
  • 6c + 4c = 760
  • 10c = 760
  • c = 76

Find b:

  • b = 3*76 = 228

Bridget gets £228
