They all got a lot of money

Explanation:

Answer 2

36000,4000,12000

Explanation:

Let
`x` be the share of first friend.

Let
`y` be the share of second friend.

Let
`z` be the share of third friend.

Given that the first friend would get three times the amount of the third friend's portion.

So,
`x=3z`

Given that the third friend would get three times the amount of the second friend's portion.

So,
`z=3y`

Given that the total share is 52,000

`x+y+z=3z+y+3y=9y+y+3y=13y`

So,
`13y=52000\\y=4000`

`z=3y=3* 4000=12000`

`x=3z=3* 12000=36000`
