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.
