&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I came to bring the correct solution.



<pre>
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.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  Kevin received  3*50 = 150 dollars.
</pre>

Solved.
