    Chloe, hannah, george ... ratio of 2:3:4 ... added = 9 ... meaning chloe gets 2/9 of the total money, hannah gets 3/9 of the total money, and george gets 4/9 of the total money.

    so george got 452 ...

    so 4/9 of the total money is 452

    4/9x = 452

    x = 452 / (4/9)

    x = 452 * 9/4

    x = 4068/4

    x = 1017 < = = = total money raised

    lets check it ...

    chloe : 2/9 (1017) = 2034/9 = 226

    hannah : 3/9 (1017) = 3051/9 = 339

    george : 4/9 (1017) = 4068/9 = 452

    for a total of : 226 + 339 + 452 = 1017 (correct)

    so ur answer is : $ 1017 total money raised

    Chloe, Hannah and George shared the money in the ratio 2:3:4

    Let x be the amount shared

    Chloe share amount = 2x

    Hannah's share amount = 3x

    George's share amount = 4x

    Given, Georges share is $452

    So 4x = 452

    Divide by 4 on both sides

    x = 113

    Chloe share amount = 2x = 2 (113) = 226

    Hannah's share amount = 3x = 3 (113) = 339

    Total amount they raised = 226 + 339 + 452 = $1017
