Answer:

David gets £34, Egil gets £119 and Frances gets £153.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of money David gets be 2x, Egil be 7x and Frances be 9x.

7x = 2x + 85

7x - 2x = 85

5x = 85

x = 85 ÷ 5

x = 17

David (2x) = 2 × £17

                 = £34

Egil (7x) = 7 × £17

             = £119

Frances (9x) = 9 × £17

                     = £153
