EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

3 friends ----> $360

ratio: 2:3:4.

In order to obtain the ratio, we need to calculate the unit ratio as shown as follows


\text{First friend = }(2)/((2+3+4))\cdot360=(2)/(9)\cdot360=80
\text{Second friend = }(3)/((2+3+4))\cdot360=(3)/(9)\cdot360=120
\text{Third friend = }(4)/((2+3+4))\cdot360=(4)/(9)\cdot360=160

Answer: the third friend received the largest share-----> $160.
