Answer: £225

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sarah's amount be represented by x.

Since Caroline gets three times as much as Sarah, Caroline will get: 3x

Bridget gets twice as much as Caroline, therefore Bridget will get: 2 × 3x = 6x

Sarah = x

Caroline = 3x

Bridget = 6x

Total = x + 3x + 6x = 10x

Caroline's faction is 3/10. We then multiply the fraction by £750. This will be:

= 3/10 × £750

= 0.3 × £750

= £225

Caroline will get £225
