Answer:

$420

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

GIven ratio=  2:3

The total ratio= 2+5= 7

Ann's share= $120

Let us apply the part to all approach

let the total amount be x

so for Ann

2/7= 120/x

cross multiply

2x= 120*7

2x= 840

divide both sides by 2

x= 840/2

x= 420

Hence the amount shared is $420
