Question

One number is 6 times a first number. A third number is 100 more than the first number. If the sum of the three numbers is 732, find the numbers.

Answer 1

first number = x

second number = 6x

third number = x + 100

sum of three numbers; x + 6x + (x + 100) = 420

8x = 320

x = 40

The three numbers are;

40 + 240 + 140 = 420
