There's no pictures of the current situation for us to reference, so all we can do is guess.
You say that you "can do 3 double hung" but you don't say if you mean replacement windows or new construction windows.
A simple explanation for replacement windows follows, but I'm sure it won't be this simple:
1 - Remove the current window(s) back to the single large rough opening. 2 - Create 3 smaller rough openings by placing a 2 x 4 at 1/3 and 2/3 of the large opening. 3 - Install one double hung replacement window in each of the 3 smaller rough openings. 4 - Apply trim, inside and outNote that with replacement windows, especially 3 of them, you are going to lose a lot of glass area. The same process might work for 3 new construction windows, but it make take more than just a 2 x 4 at the 1/3 and 2/3 locations.

Don't neglect the flashing.

Things like that are done all the time. Did similar on my last house. Talk to the window manufacturer and they may have a ready made filler for it. Should be nowhere near the price you were quoted. Mine was done by a local lumber yard/home store. No longer have the quote but I had 10 Pella windows done for less than that.

Talk to a good window dealer. 3 Double hungs or 2 casements and a fixed glass would work well - even if it is a bow window. Good vinyl new construction windows can be "married" to do the job. We did a lot of them at the 2 window companies I worked for 20-30 years back. For a bow there is a little bit of custom trimwork required - but some manufacturers actually have the parts.

Done with new construction there is no flashing required - which is the beauty of it.

Back in the day it was an $8000 Canadian job with premium vinyl.

Can't find what I paid but it was nowhere near that. A good double hung window is in the range of $300 to $350. So you have $1200 for windows, another few hundred for materials. Two men two hours to removed the old windows. Two men another few hours to install. Call it $1500 for labor.
I don't see more than $4k or so.
Look at the single window estimates here. Now asy can I come up with 12k

Only you can tell us what is "normal" based on your exact situation and location. We really don't know what it would take to replace *your* old window in *your* house.
Standard procedure for any job is to get at least 3 estimates. That is what will help you determine what is "normal" for your window, in your house.
