Don't know if they teach you algebra where you are.
Think of the points being split into 9 parts, where Alan would get 2 parts, Gil would get 3 parts and Debbie 4 parts
So for her 2 parts deb got 114400/4 = 28600 per part
so the total number of points = 9(28600) = 257400
in algebra:
Alan : Gil : Deb = 2x : 3x : 4x
for a total of 9x
but 4x = 114400
x = 28600
and 9x = 9(28600) = 257400
