In this case: $\displaystyle P_g$ gets £100 $\displaystyle P_{cr}$ gets some amount between 0 and £100 depending on what $\displaystyle S$ is. $\displaystyle P_m$ gets the rest. Note that this is assuming $\displaystyle S$ is less than 1 so that $\displaystyle 1-S$ is positive. It depends on the situation you are looking at.
