Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the money is divided in a ratio of 4:7 shares, it means that there are 11 shares to be divided up.

Andy's share is 7/11

7/11 = 616 / x               Cross Multiply

7x = 11 * 616

7x = 6116                    Divide by 7

x = 6116/7

x  = 968

The total amount of money was 968
