Answer:

Polly's money is 30, Andy's is 60, and Phoebe's is 180.

Explanation:

Given that

Phoebe andy and polly share 270

Phoebe gets 3 times as andy

And, andy gets twice as much as polly

let us assume the following things

B be Phoebe's money

A be Andy's money

L be Polly's money

Now following equations should be used

B + A + L = 270 .........(1)

B = 3A............(2)

A = 2L .............(3)

So,

B = 3A

= 3 × (2L)

= 6L

Now put the equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1

So,

6L + 2L + L = 270

9L = 270

L = 30

A = 2L

= 2(30)

= 60

B = 3A

= 3(60)

= 180

Therefore, Polly's money is 30, Andy's is 60, and Phoebe's is 180.
