Sneaky Pirates

Pete the Pirate and his 2 brothers find some money.They have a sister called Poppy.

If the brothers shared the money just amongst themselves, they would each get £20 more, than if they shared it equally with their sister too.

What was the sum of money that they had found?

* Warning this is a tricky one!

The amount of money they had found was £240.The difference between one third of the sum of money and one quarter of it is £20. So one twelfth of the sum of money is £20.
