Answer:Jim gets £24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount Natasha gets be represented as x

SO that Krutika getting three times as much as Natasha be represented as 3x

AND Jim getting twice as much as Krutika be represented as 2 x 3x=6x

The equation to show how much each gets can be represented as

x + 3x +6x=40

Solving

x +3x + 6x=40

10x =40

x =40/10 =4

Natasha gets £4

Krutika gets 3x =3x4= £12

Jim gets 6x=6 x4= £24
