Answer:

1st girl- 2000

2nd girl- 3000

3rd girl- 7000

Explanation:

1) add the ratio given: 2+3+7=12

2) the answer that you get is the whole and it is equal to the total: 12/12=12000

3) so now you'll simplify to get the share of each girl: 12/12=12000, what about 2/12(for the first girl)

12/12=12000, what about 3/12(for the 2nd girl)

12/12=12000, what about 7/12(for the 3rd girl)

4) after getting the answer for each, you can add their shares to see if they are equivalent to the total share
