To find the total money earned at the bake sale, we need to multiply the amount each person received by the number of people involved.
Jan and her three friends means that there are a total of 4 people. Each person received $24.49.
Now, we compute the total money earned:
\[
\text{Total money} = \text{Amount per person} \times \text{Number of people}
\]
\[
\text{Total money} = 24.49 \times 4
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
24.49 \times 4 = 97.96
\]
So, the total amount of money the girls earned at the bake sale is \(\boxed{97.96}\).
