    Total Amount of money = £4800

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the shares of Dan, Ellen and Fred be 4x, 7x and 9x respectively.

    According to the given information:

    Amount received by Ellen = Amount received by Dan + £720

    7x = 4x+720

    7x-4x=720

    3x = 720

    x = 720/3

    x = £240

    now,

    4x = 4*240 = £960

    7x = 7*240 = £1680

    9x = 9*240 = £2160

    Total Amount = £960 + £1680 + £2160

    Total Amount = £4800
