    K + L + G = 8360

    K = 2L ... L = K/2

    K = 3G ... G = K/3

    K + K/2 + K/3 = 8360 ... multiply everything by 6

    6K + 3K + 2K = 50160

    11K = 50160

    K = 50160/11

    K = 4560 < = = = Keira (K) picked 4560 lbs

    L = K/2

    L = 4560/2

    L = 2280 < = = = Larry (L) picked 2280 lbs

    G = K/3

    G = 4560/3

    G = 1520 < = = = Gita (G) picked 1520 lbs
