    13+12+10=35

    £28/35=0.8

    0.8x12 (for becky) = 9.6

    so one third of 9.6 is 3.2

    therefore 9.6-3.2=6.4

    becky have only £6.40 left

    13+12+10=35 years altogether. So this means every year has 0.8 pounds. So Mellisa has 10.4, Becky has 9.6 and Daniel has 8 (proof: 10.4+9.6+8=28). If Becky has 9.6 and her mother takes one third, becky is left with 3.2 (proof: 3.2+3.2+3.2=9.6)
