Answer:

£13.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the share of Brendon, Asha and Julie is 3x, 2x and 6x respectively.

The total amount of money that Asha and Julie recieve is £36

i.e.

2x+6x = 36

8x = 36

x = (36/8)

Amount recieved by Brendon,

$B=3\times \dfrac{36}{8}\\\\=\ 13.5$

So, the amount of money that brendon receives is £13.5.
