Let's break down the amount each girl earned in a week:
Girl A earned 6.50 per day, so in a week (5 days), she earned 6.50 * 5 = 32.50.
Girl B earned three times as much as girl A, so she earned 3 * 6.50 = 19.50 per day. In a week, she earned 19.50 * 5 = 97.50.
Girl C earned half as much as girl B, so she earned 97.50 / 2 = 48.75 per day. In a week, she earned 48.75 * 5 = 243.75.
Adding up the amounts earned by each girl in a week: 32.50 (Girl A) + 97.50 (Girl B) + 243.75 (Girl C) = 373.75.
To reach their goal of 2100, the girls would need to work for 2100 / 373.75 ≈ 5.62 weeks.
Therefore, it would take the girls about 6 weeks to reach their goal of 2100.
