Answer:
25000:40000:10000
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok so for this kind of problems first take the ratio= 5:8:2
Make it = 5x:8x:2x
now total = 75000 = 5x+8x+2x
= 75000= 15x ( now solve for x)
= 75000/15 = x
= 5000 =x
Now substitute the ratio- 5x:8x:2x
Shanae= 5x = 5*5000= 25000
Terry = 8x = 8*5000 = 40000
Shantay = 2x= 2*5000= 10000
= 25000:40000:10000
Poor Shantay lol. Must be jealous of her sisters
