            Ignore the post by @josgarithmetic, since his solution is inadequate.

            I came to bring the correct solution. 


Let one share be x, an unknown value.


Kate received 4x; Kevin received 3x; Anna received 2x.


The total equation is


    4x + 3x + 2x = 450.


    9x = 450.

     x = 450/9 = 50.


ANSWER.  Kevin received  3*50 = 150 dollars.

Solved.

There are 4+3+2 = 9 shares.

Kevin gets 3 of them.

That's 3/9 = 1/3 of the total.

ANSWER: Kevin received 1/3 of $450, or $150.
