Answer:

<em>I earned $856 on the first day</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call

x = earning on the second day

2x = earnings on the first day

3x = earnings on the third day

The total earnings are $2568, thus

x + 2x + 3x = 2568

Simplifying:

6x = 2568

Dividing by 6:

x = 2568/6

x = 428

I earned $428 on the second day.

2x = 2*$428 = $856

I earned $856 on the first day
