Worked solution
Total all the ratio parts, get the value per part, then scale by the asked share's parts. The correct answer is £580. Traps to avoid: £145 comes from the "smallest share" error; £435 comes from the "middle share" error; £386 comes from the "split evenly" error; £662 comes from the "wrong denominator" error.
