Answer:

$42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amounts received by Penny, Amjit and James be 3x, 6x and 4x respectively.

According to the given information:

Amount received by Amjit = Amount received by James + 28

So,

6x = 4x + 28

6x - 4x = 28

2x = 28

x = 28/2

x = 14

Amount of money received by Penny = 3x = 3*14 = $42
