1st friend = 2000
2nd friend = 4000
3rd friend = 3000
Step-by-step explanation:
amount 1st friend will get = x
amount 2nd friend will get = 2x
amount 3rd friend will get = (2x + x)/2
2x + x + 3x/2 = 9000
3x + 3x/2 = 9000
6x/2 + 3x/2 = 9000
9x / 2 = 9000
9x = 18,000
x = 2000
first friend = 2000
second friend = 2 × 2000 = 4000
third friend = (2000 + 4000) / 2 = 3000
