Answer:

$45   (corrected answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Gavin : Jim   = 1 : 3

fraction that Gavin gets = 1 / (1+3) = 1/4

fraction that Jim gets = 3 / (1+3) = 3/4

given that Gavin gets $15,

Gavin's share = (1/4) ----> equivalent to $15

Jim's share = (3/4) ----> equivalent to $15 x 3 = $45
