(A) To find out how much Kate's share of the money is, we first need to calculate the total number of parts in the ratio, which is 7 + 2 + 3 = 12 parts.
Next, we need to find the value of each part, which is $72y divided by 12 = $6y per part.
Kate's share is 3 parts, so her share is 3 * $6y = $18y.
Therefore, Kate's share of the money is $18y.
(B) Terrence's share is 7 parts, Shannon's share is 2 parts, and Kate's share is 3 parts.
Terrence has 7 parts - (2 parts + 3 parts) = 2 parts more than Shannon and Kate combined.
So, Terrence has $6y * 2 = $12y more than Shannon and Kate combined.
Terrence, shannon and kate share $72y in the ratio 7:2:3.
(A) How much is kate share of the money?
