Answer: £66
Your teacher may want you to leave off the pounds sign.
==========================================================
Explanation:
x = amount Bill gets
3x = amount Sam gets, because he gets three times as much
x+3x = 4x = total amount of money
4x = 88
x = 88/4
x = 22
Bill gets £22
3x = 3*22 = 66
Sam gets £66
Note that 22+66 = 88 to help confirm the answer.
