�320 is divided between Colin, Dan & David so that Colin gets twice as much as Dan, and Dan gets three times as much as David. How much does Dan get?
-------
Equations:
C + D + V = 320
C = 2D
D = 3V
-------
Substitute for C and V and solve for "D"::
2D + D + (1/3)D = 320
--------
(3 1/3)D = 320
(10/3)D = 320
D = 3*32 = 96 Euro
